You can program it yourself with APIs like PDH
For example, an old MS sample in C++ : How To Retrieve Performance Counter Value Using PDH
Show and Alert Memory , CPU on windows 10
want to know which tool I can show CPU and Memory usage on windows 10 (laptops, PCs).
The alerts that I want is when a memory or cpu consumption is exceeded, it emits a pop up or an email alert on the screen. The purpose is that the user can know the reason why the machine is slow, suddenly see what it is consuming and have some option to release resources.
In the begining I was thinking to add a windows gadget but Microsoft disable this gadgets for security reason and when I was searching i found gadget Rainmeter that its similar to the old microsoft gadgets.
But I want to know If Microsoft recommed some tool to do this job or if you know some tool to test it.
And I appreciate your commets if you heard about Rainmeter.
