You may be familiar with the Task Manager if you have used the Windows operating system. Task Manager is basically a system component that provides information about the processes and applications running in the background.
With the Task Manager, you can stop apps from running in the background, launch new apps in the background, and more. Also, you can explore the Performance section to view the real-time usage of CPU, GPU, HDD, SSD, and more.
Even though Task Manager is helpful, you can’t pin it to your desktop, so you can’t monitor resource consumption in real-time. If you like to keep a close eye on the CPU, GPU, and RAM Consumption, you need to look for other system monitoring apps.
Fortunately, Windows 11 includes a gaming feature known as ‘Xbox Game Bar’ that displays certain usage metrics. The best part about the Xbox Game Bar is that it displays an overlay showing the device’s CPU, GPU, and RAM usage in real-time.
