Tip 2: How about a non-intrusive, low ram usage, highly customizable resource monitoring bar on your desktop? Try (.take note of the underutilized poorly understood but very helpful Perfmon.)
Tip 1: To make a clickable icon of Resource Monitor, you can ALSO use this entry in your shortcut: %windir%\system32\perfmon.exe /res Good reminder to use the oft-forgotten new and improved Resource Monitor. Once I reminded myself that Resource Monitor could be launched directly from the Task Manager (an app that I have open often a lot already) I started using it even more. Perhaps you pull from a number of smaller applets or shareware utilities to pull it all together. You have this tool and all these views now, and I suspect you might not be using it to the fullest. It makes it easy to find a process from a port or TCP connection. The Network Activity tab is super useful and jam-packed with information. You can search across all processes for an open file name (or any handle), as well as filter by Process or Service. If Resource Monitor is a well-kept secret, then Associated Handles is a secret within a secret. On the CPU tab, is an Associated Handles pane. Resource Monitor not only lets you easily Filter processes with a checkbox, but you can also sort services by CPU usage. Task Manager is great but it doesn't easily show how much CPU is being used by a Service. I often sort by Total and often find things like DropBox in there. Remember to sort by Read or Write bytes/sec. This is all great stuff but I find myself exploring the Disk tab the most. Or, hit Ctrl-Alt-ESC as a hotkey for Task Manager.įrom Task Manager, you may never have noticed the Open Resource Monitor link at the bottom of the Performance tab.Ĭlick that and open up a whole new insight into what's going on. You can bring Task Manager up, of course, by right clicking the Taskbar and clicking Task Manager. However, I find that for quick questions that using Resource Monitor is faster to access and the information is easier to interpret. We've all been on the phone with non-technical-relative and ask them to open up Task Manager.Īs we move from user to technical-user we are introduced to SysInternals tools and perhaps Process Monitor for finding out what's happening to a disk. Most folks learn how to use Task Manager pretty quickly.
