I have no idea how did you do it, but I'm unable to see Windows processes like

[]$ ps -p 7636
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID   TTY         UID    STIME COMMAND

[]$ ps -Wp 7636
      PID    PPID    PGID     WINPID   TTY         UID    STIME COMMAND
     7636       0       0       7636  ?              0 15:47:38 C:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe
