Which question would be more correct?

Thanks in advance.

" seems the better of the two. But, the sentence is awkward. Something using "Are you finished with " seems more natural to me.

Hi,

A common and informal thing to say is eg Are you through washing the dishes yet?

It means eg Are you finished . . .

"Are you through your process (of doing smth.) yet?"
"Are you through with your process (of doing smth.) yet?"
I would use the -ing form directly after through and a noun after through with. In any case I find the expression extremely limited in usefulness, so I hardly ever use it.
