Monitoring your computer resources

You can monitor the usage percentage of your computer resources by hovering the mouse pointer over the Resources meter icon in the notification tray. Click the same icon to view a summary of the hardware installed on your computer and their current use in a dialog box.

What you should know

If you do not see the Resources meter icon () in the notification tray, set its display property to Show.

To monitor the resources on your computer:

  1. Hover your mouse pointer over the Resources meter icon in the notification tray to view the current usage of your computer resources in percentages.
    The usage of your computer resources is shown in four categories:
    • CPU (blue)
    • Memory (oange)
    • GPU (green)
    • Network (red)
    NOTE: The GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) is shown only if your video card supports hardware acceleration and if that feature is turned on in the Security Desk video options. See Video options in the Security Center User Guide.
  2. Click the Resources meter icon in the notification tray to view detailed information about your computer resources in the Hardware information dialog box.
