Can PRTG detect if a specific app is running in the foreground of a PC? For example, Winamp?

Hello Tony,

Unfortunately no, PRTG has no functions that would detect this in the way I think you're looking for it. I would recommend you look into some kind of asset management software that puts an agent on each machine for real time monitoring of programs and services.

Thanks!
