    resource monitor

    It seems that when I run the new Resource Monitor that my system soon becomes
    totally unresponsive. I've even had to power off just to get it back
    working. Is anyone else seeing something like this?

    Resource monitor should also show you what the problem is

    I would have thought so but when the desktop was hanging I couldn't get to
    it. Now as I try to get it to happen, it won't but I've had it happen more
    than once.

    Firing up task manager is often a quicker and more reliable option
    (ctrl-alt-esc)

    Look in the 'Processes list' for processes hogging the cpu.
    (if necessary add the cpu usage column via View > Select Columns )

    Also click on 'Show processes for all users' to see system wide processes

    That should have read [ctrl-shift-esc].

    I've been able to get it to happen a couple of times. I open Task Manager and
    start Resource Monitor then close the Task Manager. Wait a bit and then open
    Task Manager again and try to do something with the desktop such as
    right-click over Computer in the auto-hide task bar. In a bit perfmon.exe
    will be showing using 99% CPU. Can't get it to happen every time but happens
    often enough :-)
