TC Non-Stop reading does not use folders (!!!)

Pid is the same so it is the same instance:) but it is a great question what he did with TC at that time. Searched within over 9000 thousand files?

A good question. So why did you open so many instances of the program?

Open 1 program. But as searches/index for files it shows a lot of processes?

Pid is the same so it is the same instance

You are right. I didn't see this. So let us clear about this. Is it possible to have multiple instances of a program with the same PID? Sounds strange to me.

One point is the Task Manager -> Details.
For each TC instance, a separate PID number is assigned here.

Is it possible or not?

Of course not. A PID identifies a process and is unique, at least at a given time X. The OS will assign PIDs in a round-robin kind of manner, so eventually PIDs may be the same at different points in time X and Y.

Yes this is what I think too. So the question arises what the screenshot made by makinero displays

1) He is using a process viewer that displays rubbish.
2) The column in question just shows the parent process ID.
3) The screenshot is actually just fake (Photoshop).
4) Some other kind of fake like same process names.

I guess the best idea is to wait for a statement from him.

Lefteous,
I think it is not a task manager but a disk IO activity monitor.

Are you sure?

It's Windows Resource Monitor.

Indeed, and neither of those is a separate process. Disk activity monitor tab from resource monitor has a sort of "buffer" so you can see what has happened in the past X seconds as well, therefore if you're doing operations on many files (such as searching through them via TC), you will see each individual file's entry in the list, as long as it had any activity during the period for which the tool takes its measurements. Therefore the situation from the original poster is neither bad nor surprising nor does it mean anything negative about TC.
