Monitoring Your System with Resource Monitor

⚛️ Here's a helpful system monitor resource tool that doesn't get nearly the press it deserves.
⚛️ Using Resource Monitor
Resource Monitor provides information about what’s happening on your system organized into four areas: CPU usage, Memory usage, Disk usage, and Network usage. A tab representing each area displays detailed information that can be used to understand system behavior and diagnose issues.

Just amazed at what Leo is able to put out that can be a big help in demystifying computing "stuff"! Thx!

I'm learning cyber security and I'm amazed on how little info is out there explaining clearly what these Windows tools display. Thank you.

Good useful information. Thank you.

Hi Leo, thank you for this useful information.
I've been having problems with my Network, and been looking at the monitor and the task manager, finding clues 😅
Do you know if there's a way to see more than 60 seconds in the graph?

I thought resmon.exe was resource monitor but at 2:40 around you say perfmon.exe is ??

[@studiotime6671]

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he just happened to have both performance monitor and resource monitor opened and got the names confused? I could see that. The icons look similar in the taskbar but I only see one instance running so a little confused myself.

My computer will not open my resource monitor

What happens when you try?

I was on Windows 10 yesterday, and I remembered how bad it was.
