Possibly the only utility that has persisted and not been meddled with since NT 3.1!
I kinda think NT4 introducing the Task Manager made this information a little easier to observe on a running system whereby you weren't needing to record the performance counters
It's very useful for analyzing program and component bottlenecks; I don't know why gamers don't use it more frequently to analyze the bottlenecks they experience.
A great complimentary tool to the event log viewer. Good for logging RAM and CPU usage and cross referencing with the event log viewer to determine why a computer is being slow at a certain time of day.
I think it’s the best thing for the price to poll performance counters and display the results. What else are people using if you want performance counter data?
I use it as a random number generator. When I need a random number I just do some arithmetic on the values to get one.
It is not very useful but it's the only use case I found for a performance monitor 🤷
Outside what says in the title, what else could you use performance monitor for?
Cool "wiggly line" dashboard to make your office feel more computerey

For looking at performance? It purpose hasn't changed.
Is this bot post?

How do you use it for that? I mean seriously, how? Is there some tutorial online, examples etc?
Cisco's UCM generates PerfMon logs, so I used it a couple of times to visualise the logs to troubleshoot the issue

Yes! I use it to monitor performance. That's a particularly valuable function now that the Task Manager massages it's data.
Did you have something else in mind?
I use it to mon my perf
Great for making log files on why the computer is slowing down.
We use it to Monitor ram and HDD usage and other stuff on windows servers with PRTG. Less performance impact compared to wmi.
I use it to see how efficient my personal fork bombs are working in case I need to use my emergency fork bomb.
But it’s also useful for monitoring how much I’m making my computer work in blender (for my 3d fork bombs of course)
Perfmon /res
It's for reading advanced logs from Data Collector Set. Some of the data can even be 3rd party with the right plugin.

Well, how about putting them into some giant screen to show the C Suits that our systems are working 😉

I have a Alienware laptop and it’s not win 11 upgradable, I heard there are ways and we like to debloat. Thank you for any and all your help.
