As to the process starting and termination events, please see this CodeProject article: Hooking the native API and controlling process creation on a system-wide basis[^].

As to activation and deactivation, it's not clear what do you mean. A window can be activated and deactivated; and this could be a subject of global window hook. If this is what you are looking or You can use the hook type WH_GETMESSAGE and track the event when a window gets message WM_ACTIVATE:
