Resmon (Resource Monitor) is a tool in Windows that provides real-time data about your system’s performance. It shows detailed information on CPU, memory, disk, and network usage, helping diagnose performance issues.

How Resmon Works

Resmon collects data about your system’s resources and organizes it into tabs. It helps monitor and manage system performance by showing which processes and services are using system resources.

• Monitors CPU, memory, disk, and network usage
• Helps identify performance bottlenecks or resource hogs
• Provides detailed process-level data for troubleshooting

Key Sections in Resmon

Resmon organizes its information into several key tabs.

Tab	Description
Overview	Displays a summary of resource usage (CPU, Memory, Disk, Network)
CPU	Shows detailed CPU usage by process, threads, and services
Memory	Displays memory usage, including processes using the most RAM
Disk	Provides information on disk activity and processes using disk resources
Network	Shows network activity, including data usage by processes

Common Tasks

• Monitor CPU Usage
  The CPU tab shows real-time CPU usage and breaks it down by processes, services, and threads. You can identify which processes are consuming CPU resources.

  Example: Process "chrome.exe" using 20% CPU

• Track Memory Usage
  The Memory tab displays how much RAM is being used by each process, making it easy to spot high memory usage.

  Example: "taskmgr.exe" using 1 GB of RAM

• Check Disk Activity
  The Disk tab shows which processes are using your disk and how much data is being read or written. This helps identify disk-intensive tasks.

  Example: "msedge.exe" reading 300 MB from the disk

• Monitor Network Activity
  The Network tab tracks network data usage and shows which processes are using the network, such as downloading or uploading files.
