System Informer 3.0.7435 downloaded 500MB of data on Windows 11

[poqdavid]

I have been using System Informer for a while and I recently updated it to Version: 3.0.7435 (0524888). After the update, I opened the properties of a process and noticed that System Informer had downloaded about 500MB of data in the background.

I checked the network usage and noticed that the usage was from System Informer's process, but I could not identify the source or destination of the data. I did not receive any notification or prompt from System Informer about this data transfer.

So, I am wondering what System Informer downloaded without my knowledge. Is this a normal behavior of System Informer?
How can I find out what data was downloaded and where it was stored?

I would appreciate any help or advice. Thank you.

Did you download PDB files for system shared libraries and executables? The threads tab of a process window downloads PDB automatically.

Oh, I see yes, I did open the threads tab tyvm :)
I wish System Informer had a notification or popup about that at least.

When you've installed the Debugging Tools for Windows via the Windows SDK/WDK then it'll download Microsoft's debugging symbols into C:\Symbols and resolve addresses, thread stacks and object names.

I wish System Informer had a notification or popup about that at least.

There's progress bars and status text on each window showing the activity.
