How can you monitor CPU usage on Windows?

The simplest way to monitor CPU usage on Windows is to use the built-in Task Manager. You can access it by pressing Ctrl Alt Delete and selecting Task Manager, or by right-clicking on the taskbar and choosing Task Manager

Using a RMM tool will give you long term historical usage data. We use N-central from N-able to do this. If an end user says they need a higher powered machine, we can use that data to prove to decision makers that the user is in fact maxing out the resources on a daily basis or vice versa.

Task Manager GUI always helps in monitoring the overall CPU usage, as well by core wise CPU usage. You may use CLI to get more granular results.

Yeh, the easiest way to see CPU usage is as a task manager with current status and graph, but more details for any logs and warning need to see the event viewer systems log then need to trouble shoot accordingly.

There can be multiple ways, but simplest and always used: Task Manager. Even in the latest versions of windows (Windows 11, 64bit), task manager windows shows which process is consuming more CPU (in terms of percentage).

Centralized monitoring solutions are a great way to go. CheckMK is a great example of this, which allows you to easily deploy agents Windows, Linux, and other devices, to monitor their performance and predict problems before they take down your business.

If you need to monitor many devices, the best option is a centralised tool that allows you to activate alert and warning rules.

Desde PowerShell se puede supervisar el uso de CPU mediante el siguiente script: Get-Process | select cpu,id,name | sort cpu -Descending

you don't really need to, because you know it's going to be high, there so many processes running, nobody really knows what they all do! However you can reduce load by uninstalling microsoft clippy.

Diagnosing excess CPU usage is similat to troubleshooting a variety of issues (I use "excessive" rather than "high" - high CPU may be "normal" for CPU-intensive applications). Perfmon is an excellent tool. Follow these standards: 1. Select suspected apps and processes (services). 2. Close all apps. Open the one(s) you suspect, one at a time. Once you identify runaway CPU, you've either identified the last app opened or a combination. 3. Run that app with half the previously opened apps. Narrow down which combination is causing issues (or just the one). 4. The same applies to services. Try to disable as many as feasible, then enable half, a quarter, etc. This is a time-consuming process. Be patient and methodical.

Você pode monitorar o uso da CPU no Windows usando o Gerenciador de Tarefas. Pressione Ctrl Shift Esc para abri-lo, vá para a guia "Desempenho" e lá você verá informações detalhadas sobre o uso da CPU. Também é possível usar ferramentas de terceiros, como o Monitor de Recursos, para obter mais detalhes e histórico de uso da CPU.
