Is it good or bad that I remember most of these features from my days on Windows 95? We have come a long way, I hardly ever have to open Task Manager nowadays.

- thrower123 6y agoI've got it open 24/7. There's enough misbehaving stuff that I have to use day-to-day that spikes off the CPU or runaway leaking memory on a regular basis... I miss the Vista/7 desktop widgets that you used to be able to use to keep an eye on this stuff without having TaskManager open.

- thrower123 6y agoThat is lovely, thanks.
- cheschire 6y agoYou must not have to put up with corporate cyber security professionals using tanium and HIPS to hump your hard drive for hours like a monkey on a football. I use TM multiple times a day.

- traskjd 6y agoI thought the same but recently used Windows 95 and task manager was just a list of running apps you could switch to. Resource meter was to track resource usage. Suspect we suffer the same brain fade and the task manager we remember was either windows 98 or XP type timeframes.
