Free Sidebar Gadgets for Windows 11/10/8.1/7 Desktop

TRANSLATE

Dear users. Some time ago, accuweather.com stopped providing data in XML format for the gadget. All of your gadgets are showing an Internet connection error. I'm working on it. Unfortunately, with constant air raids and missile strikes on my city (I live in Ukraine), the work is proceeding extremely slowly and I have no confidence that it will ever be completed. Thanks for understanding.

Can anybody help me to translate few my gadgets to other languages (Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, etc.)? If you’re that person, please call me using the contact form.

Top Process Monitor overview

Version 11.1 released at 10/09/2023

This comprehensive Windows 11 and Windows 10 gadget is designed to track the most resource-intensive processes in the operating system. It helps you to know how and which programs or processes on your computer utilize most of all in real time. You can also check your current CPU level and the total number of threads included.

The gadget is user-friendly, even for inexperienced users. Top Process Monitor comes with various configurable settings. You can choose between different process modes, such as CPU, memory (Working Set), PageFiles, Virtual Memory, IO (Bytes read/written), read, write, total read, and total write. Additionally, you can cycle through all the aforementioned modes with a single click. Moreover, you have the option to set the double-click action to either Task Manager, Resource Monitor, Performance Monitor, or none.

A highly useful customization option is the color identifier for heavily used memory processes. Additionally, the gadget can inform you if it is operating within one of the most popular virtual machines.

The Top Process monitor does not put a strain on the computer, as it uses a low amount of CPU and system memory. Aside from the fact that it looks simple and cute, you can be sure that this Windows 10 gadget can give you what you need. Top Process Monitor works on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
