I've just installed Process Explorer

winget install Microsoft.Sysinternals.ProcessExplorer

but can't find out how to start it :) Start menu show me nothing on "Process Explorer" or "procexp" search requests

I propose that when a portable package is installed, the alias used for calling the program be printed to the command output

PS C:\Windows\system32> winget install microsoft.sysinternals.processexplorer
