      Task Manager and Processs and Services, sums up all the programs on the system, incase if there is any malware or bot if might not show its proper name or there will be no description under them, but they will definetly show in Task Manager.

      But still you want to dug deep

      “Sysinternals process explorer” is your friend. This will show you more information than you’re used to from Task Manager, including invisible tasks.
