What is Performance Monitor? Many times it occurs that our computer just ceases to respond, shuts down unexpectedly or behaves abnormally. There could be a number of reasons for such behavior and pointing out the exact reason could be of great help. Windows has a tool named Performance Monitor, which you can use for this purpose. With this tool, you can keep a check on the performance of your system and identify how different programs affect the system performance. You can analyze data related to your processor, memory, network, hard drive, etc. It can tell you how the system resources are managed and other configuration information that might be useful for you. It can also collect and log the data in files, which can be analyzed later. Read on to see how you can use Performance Monitor to fix performance related issues in Windows 10.

Jūsu darbs IR Klientu apkalpošana pauzes poga on the toolbar will allow you to freeze the constantly changing graph at any instance, if you want to analyze it. You can resume by clicking on the atskaņošanas poga.
Some Common Performance Counters
Procesors:
- % Processor Time: This is the percentage of time spent by the processor in executing a non-idle thread. If this percentage stays over 80% constantly, it means it is difficult for your processor to handle all the processes.
- % Interrupt Time: This is the time required by your processor to receive and service hardware requests or interrupts. If this time exceeds 30%, there might be some hardware related risk.
atmiņa:
- % Committed Bytes In Use: This counter shows what percentage of your RAM is currently in use or is committed. This counter should fluctuate values as different programs are opened and closed. But if it keeps on increasing, there might be a memory leak.
- Available Bytes: This counter depicts the amount of physical memory (in Bytes) that are available for immediately allocating it to a process or system. A less than 5% of available bytes means you have very less memory free and may need to add more memory.
- Cache Bytes: This counter tracks the part of system cache which is currently active in physical memory.
Paging File:
- % Usage: This counter tells the percentage of current pagefile in use. It should not be higher than 10%.
PhysicalDisk:
- % Disk Time: This counter monitors the time taken by a drive to process read and write requests. This should not be too high.
- Disk Read Bytes/sec: This counter maps the rate at which bytes are transferred from the disk during the read operations.
- Disk Write Bytes/sec: This counter maps the rate at which bytes are transferred to the disk during write operations.
Tīkla saskarne:
- Bytes Received/sec: It represents the rate of bytes being received over each network adapter.
- Bytes Sent/sec: It represents the rate of bytes being sent over each network adapter.
- Bytes Total/sec: It includes both Bytes Received and Bytes Sent.
If this percentage lies between 40%-65%, you should be cautious. For over 65%, the performance will be adversely affected.
Tēma:
- % Processor Time: It tracks the amount of processor’s effort which is used by an individual thread.

How to Create a Data Collector Sets
A data collector set is a combination of one or more performance counters which can be saved to collect data over a period of time or on demand. These are especially useful when you want to monitor a component of your system over a specified time period, for instance, every month. There are two predefined sets available,
System Diagnostics: This data collector set can be used troubleshooting issues related to driver failures, faulty hardware, etc. It includes data collected from System Performance along with other detailed system information.
Sistēmas veiktspēja: This data collector set can be used to handle performance related issues like a slow computer. It collects data related to memory, processor, disk, network performance, etc.
To access these, expand ‘Datu savācēju komplekti’ in the left pane on Performance Monitor window and click on Sistēma.
