Resource Monitor

Overview

The Resource Monitor is a companion diagnostic tool alongside the Task Manager. It was introduced in Windows Vista and is still in use for Windows 10.

 

The tool gives you access to many functions that can help with your efforts to monitor, control and optimise your operating system and well as detect any abnormal activity that is using large amount of resources and slowing the system down. Heavy usage could also indicate the system has been compromised.
