Windows 10: Windows: Task Manager vs Performance Monitor

Hi,I am currently testing the performance of a GUI through CPU utilisation graphs. The two programs that come to mind to do so are the task manager and the performance monitor.When comparing both, they show the same general trend, however the task manager shows a slightly higher CPU utilisation for low percentage utilisation, with the gap slightly increasing as more and more CPU is used.My question is which one is more accurate/which one should I trust? I know that with the performance monitor you can track individual process via counters, however I'm after the overall CPU utilisation the def

No restart button in task manager

another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.

Hi Andrew,



Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.



I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

Method 1: I suggest you to place the computer in clean boot state and check if the issue persist.

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows.

Please refer to the below article on how to perform a clean boot to know “How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting”

Method 2: Let’s try to identify the exact cause that is creating the overheat issue. Follow the methods:

Please follow the steps to run the system maintenance troubleshooter:
