WndFromPoint

Each window on your computer has an associated process running in the background, as well as registry entries that store low-level settings, allowing it to run on the host computer. Users who are interested in such details are programmers and developers especially, who need to understand relationships between system objects and see running processes, threads, windows, and messages.

While there are other applications out there that can extract information about an opened window, the advantage of WndFromPoint is that it does not need you to move focus on another window. Instead, it displays information about the window under the mouse cursor and that is why you will notice it updating as you move the mouse from one window to another.

The application shows the cursor's position on the screen, along with the target window's ID number. Moreover, it reveals the class it uses, its title and the associated process. Pressing Win+Ctrl+Shift+C copies the entire information in the main GUI of WndFromPoint to the clipboard for further use.

Layered or transparent windows can be filtered if you wish and WndFromPoint can be configured to only show application windows. To see information about elevated applications, you must also launch WndFromPoint with administrative privileges.

WndFromPoint is a portable application, which means you can use it on the go from any removable drive. Moreover, it does not leave traces in the system’s registry, nor does it save settings locally.
