Why each option
The Pslist -d switch displays thread-level statistics for all active processes, grouping each thread with the process that owns it.
Pslist -m displays memory detail - including working set size, virtual memory, and paged pool - for each process, not thread statistics.
The -d flag instructs Pslist (a Sysinternals utility) to enumerate and display detailed information for every thread on the system, organized under their owning process. This gives administrators a grouped view of thread state, priority, and CPU time alongside the parent process context.
Pslist -x outputs extended information that combines both memory and thread details in a tabular format, not the grouped per-process thread listing.
Pslist -t renders the process list as a parent-child hierarchy tree showing process relationships, not thread-level statistics.
