If your computer is running slowly and the page file counts (percent Usage and percent Usage Peak) are continually high, you may want to look into it. It could be an indication that something isn’t operating properly or that you have malware on your computer. Suppose you’re not actively utilizing your internet connection but still observe a lot of network activity. If you’re often downloading files or streaming high-definition videos and your bandwidth is consistently above 85%, you should upgrade your internet speed plan. Pick counters such as Bytes Received/sec, and Bytes Total/sec uses to view how much bandwidth your wireless or Ethernet adapter uses. Network AdapterĪ variety of counters are included in the Network Adapter to monitor the transmitted and received bytes for one or more network adapters.
A large percentage of privileged time could suggest a bad driver or a hardware problem. The percent Privileged Time counter tracks the processor’s time in Kernel (Privileged) mode. If this counter remains above 30%, it could indicate a hardware problem. You can use counters like percent Interrupt Time to track how long it takes the CPU to process hardware requests (interrupts). Other counters, such as Disk Bytes/sec, Disk Read Bytes/sec, Disk Read/sec, Disk Write Bytes/sec, and Disk Writes/sec, can aid in determining the hard drive’s read and write speeds. If this counter remains high for an extended period, it may indicate that the hard drive needs to be replaced. You can use counters like percent Disk Time to track how long it takes a drive to perform read and write requests. Included are counters for monitoring the hard drive’s physical performance. 4.4 How Do I Run A Diagnostic On My Computer? Which Are The Performance Monitor Counters ? 1.
