Task Manager shows FileDescription. You can game the same like that:

Get-Process | select @{Name='Name'; Expression={$_.MainModule.FileVersionInfo.FileDescription}}

It is possible to filter the result:

Get-Process | select @{Name='Name'; Expression={$_.MainModule.FileVersionInfo.FileDescription}} |? Name -match 'Visual'

My filtered results looks like:

Name
----
Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Preview
Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Preview

To check how many results you have, you can use Count property:

$filteredResults = Get-Process | select @{Name='Name'; Expression={$_.MainModule.FileVersionInfo.FileDescription}} |? Name -match 'Visual'
$filteredResults.Count
