What is CPU Usage?

CPU Usage

CPU Usage is a handy tool that helps you keep an eye on your computer's performance. As computer hardware gets better, programs and games are demanding more from your system. This is why it's super important to monitor how much resources you're using to prevent any damage to your machine.

Easy Setup for Everyone

This app is great because it doesn't require a long setup process. You can even run CPU Usage from a thumb drive! It works perfectly as a personal CPU monitor on different computers without leaving any traces in the registry.

Real-Time Monitoring Made Simple

The moment you launch the app, it starts monitoring your CPU activity right away. You can see how much CPU power you're using at any time, displayed as a percentage. The default update rate is every second, but if you prefer, you can adjust this setting to milliseconds!

Visual Customization Options

You can tweak some visuals too, though keeping it simple seems to be the main goal here. The layout is pretty straightforward! Customization mostly means adjusting the opacity level from 1 to 255 and choosing whether you want the window to stay on top of other applications so that you can always see what's going on.

Launching with Windows and Hotkeys

If you're someone who checks CPU usage often or right from the start, there's an option for CPU Usage to launch when Windows starts up. Plus, if you want quick access, you can set up a custom hotkey for launching it whenever needed—no matter where you are!

Create System-Wide Variables with Ease

A cool feature is checking the Set EnvVar box. This creates a system-wide environment variable that stays updated automatically! You'll spot it tagged as CPU_Usage, which makes it easy for later adjustments if needed. Just know that keeping this active might slightly bump up overall CPU usage.

A Good Tool with Some Limits

In conclusion, while CPU Usage has good intentions and does its job well by monitoring CPU activity, it's limited since it doesn't track history or send alerts when usage gets high. So if you're looking for something more robust, you might find yourself checking out other options!
