Title: Use of Window’s Task Manager to monitor the System Performance.
Theory:
What is Window’s Task Manager?
Task Manager, previously known as Windows Task Manager, is a task manager, system monitor, and startup manager included with Microsoft Windows systems. It provides information about computer performance and running software, including name of running processes, CPU load, commit charge, I/O details, logged-in users, and Windows services. Task Manager can also be used to set process priorities, processor affinity, start and stop services, and forcibly terminate processes.
➤ How to open windows task manager.
⦿ There are several ways to open windows task manager some are as follows:
I) The program can started in recent versions of Windows by pressing ⊞ Win+R and then typing in taskmrg.exe.

ii) By pressing Ctrl+alt+esc and clicking Start Task Manager.
iii) By pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc.
iv) By right clicking on the Windows taskbar and selecting "Task Manager".
v) By typing 'taskmgr' in the File Explorer address bar.
➤ List down all tabs available in Task Manager.
I) Process: A list of running applications and background processes on your system along with CPU, memory, disk, network, GPU and Other resource usage.
ii) Performance: Real-time graphs showing total CPU, memory , disk network , and GPU resource usage for your system. You’ll find many other details here, too, from your computer’s IP address to the model names of your computer’s CPU and GPU.
iii) App History: Information about how much CPU and network resources apps have used for your current user account. This only applies to new Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps—in other words, Store apps—and not traditional Windows desktop apps (Win32 applications.)
iv) Startup: A list of your startup programs, which are the applications Windows automatically starts when you sign into your user account. You can disable startup programs from here, although you can also do that from Settings > Apps > Startup.
v) Users: The user accounts currently signed into your PC, how much resources
they’re using, and what applications they’re running.
vi) Details: More detailed information about the processes running on your system. This is basically the traditional “Processes” tab from the Task Manager on Windows 7.
vii) Services: Management of system services. This is the same information you’ll find in services.msc, the Services management console.
➤ Open Performance tab and explain all resources including CPU, Disk, Network and Memory.
i) CPU : The name and model number of your CPU, its speed, the number of cores it has, and whether hardware virtualization features are enabled and available. It also shows your system's "uptime", which is how long your system has been running since it last booted up.
i
ii) Memory: How much RAM you have, its speed, and how many of the RAM slots on your motherboard are used. You can also see how much of your memory is currently filled with cached data. Windows calls this “standby.” This data will be ready and waiting if your system needs it, but Windows will automatically dump the cached data and free up space if it needs more memory for another task.
iii) Disk: The name and model number of your disk drive, its size, and its current read and write speeds.
iv) Wi-Fi or Ethernet : Windows shown a network adapter's name and its IP addresses. (both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses) here. For Wi-Fi connections, you can also see the Wi-Fi standard in use on the current connection—for example, 802.11ac.
v) GPU: The GPU pane shows separate graphs for different types of activity—for example, 3D vs. video encoding or decoding. The GPU has its own built-in memory, so it also shows GPU memory usage. You can also see the name and model number of your GPU here and the graphics driver version it’s using. You can monitor GPU usage right from the Task Manager without any third-party software.
Observations/ Results:
(Write Observations of your own system resources.)
i) My CPU always runs on more than 50% usage , frequent heating and slows down.
ii) Memory is at average, but at times when I run heavy software it peaks to 85% - 90%
iii) Disk drive maximum usage peaks utmost 25% - 50% as it has SSD.
iv) Wifi speed is pretty fast and has good range with upto 70 mBp/s speed.
v) Graphic Card is a basic one so when using High graphic demanding application such as Android Studio, Paint 3d, Basic PC games it drops a lot of fps and the quality isn't good as well.
Conclusion:
Measure you can take to improve system performance.
i) Disable startup program which are not necessary for booting Operating System.
ii) If not necessary then Sign out of OneDrive, it always runs in background and is very resource hungry.
iii) Disable animation and visual graphics, this will reduce the appearance but will boost the performance.
iv) Stop notifications and tips and tricks from windows.
v) Clean Storage.
vi) Scan your computer
vii) Run disk cleanup
viii) Delete unwanted and rarely used apps and data.
ix) Hard reset (make sure to take backup)
x) Install an SSD
