resource monitor

After replacement of a harddisk in my NAS I want to shovel back about 1 TB files from my PC win10 64 bit to it. Tried it first with robocopy. File transfers ended when some mp4, some tif files were to be copied. Error message - Other app using them. Resource monitor showed no handles to these...

When I call in Win7 the Ressource Monitor then a lot of values are fluctuating. The mount of bytes written to disk from process AAA for example is even sometimes automatically decreasing! So I guess there ist a time interval for the values and the values are automatically reset by windows...

I'm trying to adjust the power options on my laptop so that the CPU doesn't run as hot (which consequently increases the fan). I set the "Minimum processor state" to a value lower than 100% but, no matter what value I enter, Windows doesn't seem to be using it. The "Maximum Frequency" that shows...

Since installing the Windows 10 Anniversary update, booting has been slow and the PC is sluggish for a while. As soon as I could get Task Manager open I saw C: had 100% utilisation. I ran Resource Monitor and saw that MsMpEng apparently had a long list of my installed programs running at the...

On a vanilla Gateway PC with 6GB RAM (50%), 500GB available disk space, the HD has started showing a very periodic 100% write usage (~12 sec on, 1 sec off). The Read usage is quite normal. This makes the system extremely slow. Resource Monitor reports many processes with PID 4, but none seem...

Hi, So my laptop will run fine for around an hour and then all of a sudden it seems really sluggish and slow and sometimes reaches the point where chrome is just unusable. I have to restart the laptop and it seems fine again. I have 8gb ram and have been monitoring usage in resource monitor and...

I'm not a intel fan so I know little about the Intel side of things but my son has a Q9300 system he simply uses to watch youtube video's & so forth. Anyways he's been having a few problems. At system start up to desktop everything appears normal visually until you try & do things. The mouse...

Hello all, After cleaning out a computer I am still having issues with my boot up time, it takes over 3 minutes to get a workable desktop. it boots up to the login interface fairly quickly, but when I log in it takes really long for the desktop to show and when it does it seems to be busy doing...

Ok, I recently did a fresh install of win 7 because I corrupted my own registry playing about. Anyways, I got everything done & all looked fine & completed normally & then I got a BSOD. First one ever, continued & it looked normal & everything. Then after about a week I noticed some programs...

I generally understand the CPU activity graphs in the resource monitor, with the exception of the first one...the total CPU activity displayed on it at first glance makes sense, when looking at the area shown in green, which is the total CPU activity, but there is also a blue line above that...

I've recently been having an issue with my Dell Inspiron N5110 running Windows 7 Home. It has been running very hot lately (I've been concentrating on keeping the intake and exhaust vents clear while using it and shutting it down when not in use). Yesterday, a few minutes after clicking on a...

Hi I'm on Windows 8 64-bit on a Toshiba Satellite L750 My computer has constantly been a pain and has not once been completely usable. There is always some sort of flaw. I deleted everything and installed Windows 8 last week because it seemed as though only 2gb of my 6gb of ram was being used...

Hi All, My PC was running great but when I started it from overnight sleep, which woke at the normal speed, I as always did a manual update to Avast definitions. It did the download as quick as always, but then during the "saving package" it hung. I left it like that for some minutes, and then...

Hi. I have been googling and digging thru responses but i cant find an answer to this problem. Ever since I got this computer, I believe the hd has just constantly been reading. It's not extreme reading, just subtle clickclick every quarter second or so. I did a fresh install of w7 x64 just...

Using Resource Monitor I see that the following processes have constant network activity. I have very limited bandwidth available and I was wondering that if the following processes are not needed can they be turned off in the startup menu or through some other means? svchost.exe...

I watch videos on a site and when I finish watching the bandwidth in DU Meter keeps running at 400-500 KB's/s. It would appear that it's like the videos are still running but they are not because the site and anything to do with it is shutdown. Not even a browser is running. Task manager tells...

Hello, I'm looking for a reliable system resource monitor that stays on the desktop. I don't want to use any gadgets due to the security problem with the gadget platform. Any suggestions? Oddly enough, googling what I'm looking for isn't helping.

I have a REAL problem with slowness on my laptop, every program takes seconds to load and I am very tired of seeing the "not responding" message when trying to save docs, images - or even launch a program. Online it's the same thing, editing a Wordpress site and hitting Publish - can result in...
