ProcHacker

Bored by your current CPU ? Just change its name. - Linkruste, 2023

What's this for ?

This program is meant to help you change your CPU name in a few clicks. (you don't need no more YouTube tutorials)

How to do it ?

Open the program (ProcHacker.exe) as administrator, under the first button in the main view type your new CPU's name, click on the big button with a pen drawing on a microcontroller, and that's it !

What are those other controls for ?

You can drag the window by keeping the left mouse button down while drawing shapes with your cursor on your screen, but also maximize it when making your cursor collapse with the top of your screen. You can also close the window easily, by scrollwheel-clicking on the window. If you can't, just Alt+F4 it. If that doesn't work, Alt+Fn+F4 or see a professional (because that's kinda weird)

And that big wen ?

That button is used to get and display the actual CPU name. Like, how the PC recognize it. If you click on it, your actual CPU name will display just under that big wen.

Is it safe ?

Only 3 antiviruses flag ProcHacker.exe as malicious as an anonymous virus, detected by AI/ It's not malicious at all. If you don't trust me, read the code and compile it yourself. Edit: Windows Defender prevents the execution of ProcHacker.exe. To run the program, you unfortunately have to exclude the binary executable or the folder containing it.

Something to add ?

Yes ! This app only works on Windows and uses either Microsoft Powershell to interact with the Registry or Reg.exe. If your powershell installation or Windows Registry isn't working properly, maybe the program will encounter problems too.

Let's play !

It's your time to test ;)

Oh and yeah, changes made with this program disappear after the computer restarts.
