The Task Manager should always be the first choice for quick checks on

system usage, but there are times where you might need more detail and more

control. In these cases, it’s time to use Resource Monitor. Think of Resource

Monitor as a super Task Manager with all the same features, plus many more

(see Figure 12-30). You can access Resource Monitor from the Performance

tab in Task Manager, from the Control Panel under Administrative tools, or

just by typing resource monitor in the Type here to search field.

Figure 12-30 Resource Monitor

Resource Monitor starts on the Overview tab. This is handy, and the

graphs on the right are pretty, but the work is done in one of the four other

tabs: CPU, Memory, Disk, and Network.

Resource Monitor organizes everything by PID (process ID) number.

Using PIDs can facilitate diagnosis of problems, because tracking a four-digit

number is much easier than remembering a text string.
