How the hell do you fuck up the task manager, an application that hasn’t needed to be touched in decades? At best, you stick a new skin over it to match the aesthetic. The core functionality of the task manager should have remained untouched going back to… What, Windows 3.0?
I really don’t agree with this comment seeing how useful task manager has gotten over the years. It used to be pretty simple process explorer, but has evolved into almost a full fledged resource monitor. The only thing that feels like missing now is afterburner-like overlay in games.
And fps… Frametimes… Recordable graphs… Power… Voltages… Amps… Task manager is a baby compared to serious monitoring apps. But the main purpose is not monitoring ig, it’s fine as it is.
Never really needed that since I built my own rig, do maintenance and trust my build. Never had problems with temps, even during prolonged stresstesting
When I used to be on Windows, I shifted to Process Explorer. It is developed by Microsoft only I guess as part of their Sysinternals suite. I think it retains an older style UI but is significantly more powerful (has/d virus total integration for one).

And temperature?

Okay, but literally all of that is reason to need temperature monitoring?
There are a thousand applications that provide such an overlay, one is already built into Windows, do you really need yet another?

Because they vibe code the shit out of everything now. Insane shit is bound to happen.
