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.
