I know in Linux it's very useful the pstree command and something like that is what I'm looking for... but how to make a detailed process list (tree) on Windows terminal?

You could use a program called Process Monitor. This program allows you to do what you want.
Process Monitor is an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity. It combines the features of two legacy Sysinternals utilities, Filemon and Regmon, and adds an extensive list of enhancements including rich and non-destructive filtering, comprehensive event properties such session IDs and user names, reliable process information, full thread stacks with integrated symbol support for each operation, simultaneous logging to a file, and much more. Its uniquely powerful features will make Process Monitor a core utility in your system troubleshooting and malware hunting toolkit.
It also provides exactly what you want:
Process tree tool shows relationship of all processes referenced in a trace.
Use pslist64.exe -t from SysInternals.

This is useful for generating a list of processes on the command line that can be saved to a file or processed as text. Feb 1, 2021 at 23:58

As the OP asked for a command line tool, I guess this is the most appropriate answer. And also exactly what I was looking for when connecting to a remote Windows server via SSH to quickly see what processes are currently running.– CodeFoxDec 16, 2021 at 11:56
Try Process Exporer from Sysinternals. It is like an advanced task manager, there is a tree view as well.

I was going to post this as an answer but you were here already so upvoted. I find the interface of Process Explorer to be more usable than Process Monitor for navigating the tree of processes. Feb 2, 2021 at 0:01
