    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

        There are a thousand applications that provide such an overlay, one is already built into Windows, do you really need yet another?

      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).
