Increase the time window in Resource Monitor

Question

The Resource Monitor in Windows 10 shows only last 60 seconds (see below). How do I increase it to several minutes? I know that in the Task Manager, I can do View > Update speed > Low, which will give me 4 minutes (well, I'd need longer interval btw). How do I do it in Resource Monitor?

Would Performance Monitor give you what you want? You can specify the duration. — spikey_richie, Nov 14 '19 at 10:05
@spikey_richie hmm, definitely, but it seems very complicated. If you showed me how to get there the % of physical memory in use (or in MB) and the % of CPU used I'd consider it an answer. Thanks! — Tomas, Nov 14 '19 at 10:25

Open up Performance Monitor
Click 'Performance Monitor' under Performance > Monitoring Tools
Click the green + above the chart window to Add Counters
Leave computer as Local Computer
Scroll down to Memory and click the expand arrow
Highlight % Committed Bytes in Use and click Add >> at the bottom
Expand Processor and select % Processor Time from the list, and again click Add >>
Click OK

You'll now see 2 lines drawn from left to right, showing the relevant %'age values. Right-click a counter from the bottom panel to change its properties (sample rate, duration, colour)

@Whip You need to ask that as a new question. – spikey_richie Oct 21 '22 at 07:15
