This is all great stuff but I find myself exploring the Disk tab the most. Or, hit Ctrl-Alt-ESC as a hotkey for Task Manager.įrom Task Manager, you may never have noticed the Open Resource Monitor link at the bottom of the Performance tab.Ĭlick that and open up a whole new insight into what's going on. You can bring Task Manager up, of course, by right clicking the Taskbar and clicking Task Manager. However, I find that for quick questions that using Resource Monitor is faster to access and the information is easier to interpret.

We've all been on the phone with non-technical-relative and ask them to open up Task Manager.Īs we move from user to technical-user we are introduced to SysInternals tools and perhaps Process Monitor for finding out what's happening to a disk. Most folks learn how to use Task Manager pretty quickly.
