@caiocinel Did you run FLS with admin permission and what user is running the firebird service?
Wonder if a /bugreport would help here to see if there's some error.
Hi there!
We need a bit more information to really debug this issue. Can you add a "Report Bug" zip file here? You right click on our system tray icon and just go to report bug. Then drag the zipfile from your desktop onto the GitHub comment box in this issue. Thanks!

I used the "Restart as Administrator" button from the utility itself, the server runs under the "SYSTEM" user

I can reproduce the bug. You can only see processes that have the same or a lower permission level. Even an administrator (uac) can't see processes running as system.
@jaimecbernardo , @ivanstosic-janea What access permission do we use for query the process data?
I believe we don't do too much with permissions here. I see we have to use "SeDebugPrivilege" in order to get system or other processes information. I'll see what can be done here.
I fixed it. Should probably get some UI warning in here for system processes, though.

Do we request aknowledge on killing a process? If yes we cann add an additional sentence to war for system processes and my processes of other users too.
