    It's important to note the difference between ps and top command. While top gives a runtime display of current active process in the order of high cpu usage(default), ps command gives a static view of the processes that were active when it was executed.

    Windows equivalent of ps command is 'tasklist'
    while windows equivalent of top command is a gui 'process' tab available in task manager (ctrl+ alt + delete).

    If anyone knows about equivalent top command for windows that is cmd based, do post.
