Study Notes
Bottlenecks
- Components that slow down a process are known as bottlenecks.
Data Collector Sets
- A data collector set can contain multiple counters, contradicting the notion that only a single counter is allowed.
Task Manager Monitoring
- Task Manager can monitor both process and system CPU utilization.
Performance Monitor Counters
- Not all performance objects in Performance Monitor share the same counters.
Windows Recovery Environment
- To access the Windows Recovery Environment, hold the Shift key during system restart if sign-in issues occur.
Resource Monitor
- Resource Monitor is capable of tracking data transmitted over various network connections.
Steps Recorder
- Use Steps Recorder to capture screenshots of user actions for problem demonstration.
Reliability Monitor
- Reliability Monitor helps identify when a Windows 10 computer started exhibiting stability issues.
Device Driver Issues
- If a device driver cannot be rolled back in Device Manager, the appropriate action is to update the driver.
System Image Creation
- To create a system image that includes installed applications, utilize the recovery drive function.
Accessing Task Manager
- Task Manager can be launched through right-clicking on the taskbar, using Ctrl+Shift+Esc, or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
Event Logs
- The most accessed event logs are found outside the applications and services logs node.
File History Functionality
- File History is not intended for rolling back device drivers.
Memory Issues
- A common physical symptom of insufficient memory is high levels of disk activity.
Performance Monitor Components
- Reports in Performance Monitor analyze logs using XML-based rule files.
- Data Collection Sets are responsible for recording log files.
- The Performance Monitor itself is used to view performance logs.
System Changes and Backups
- To back up user data and the operating system prior to major system changes, create a system image disk.
Performance Monitoring Definition
- Performance monitoring does not involve systematically changing a system's configuration while observing performance changes.
Factory Reset Function
- To reset a computer to factory defaults without additional media, use the system reset function.
