Tool for monitoring Windows 11 CPU-load with AUTOMATIC alert or links to forums that might know them

Community General Discussion

Hi everybody,

yesterday I configured my new laptop that has windows 11.
I don't have yet a problem with too big CPU-load.
But I remember certain processes like telemetry xy ...
to use way too much CPU-power.

processes like this are started again and again by winsnooze ehm sorry windows

I tried to find a tool that can

play a sound and pop-up a message-window

if the CPU-load of a specified process or service goes above a user-defined limit
or even better kill the process. (in case of microsoft telemetry " this simply stops sending data to microsoft).

There are many tools that can do live-monitoring of processes.
But I search for something different.
The tool shall run in the backround and monitor all the time and shall alert me automatically.

Maybe I have just searched with the wrong keywords.
So does somebody know of a tool that is able

to automatically play a sound and pop-up a message-window

if the 2 or 5 minute averaged CPU-load of a specified process or service goes above a user-defined limit?

Or does somebody know of a user-forum where the members are familiar with such things?

If yes please post a link.

best regards Stefan

I've not touched much of Windows recently, but can't you do something like that using PerfMon? (with a User Defined Data Collector Set)

Yes you can. But configuring this in PerfMon is almost the same as writing such a tool from scratch. Lot's of steps to do until you get an alert.

Here is an example of how to do it:

So what I am looking for is something much more comfortable.

  1. Look up a list with the names of the *.exe-file or the name of the service
  2. Click on the entry to select one
  3. choose from a list of pre-defined conditions like
  • CPU-usage above X %
  1. choose from a list of pre-defined actions like
  • show popup (near to mouse for X seconds)
  • kill process / service
  • write entry into logfile with filename ....

The main purpose of computers is to do work that follows well defined rules.

If PerfMon would offer import pre-defined alerts where you click import file and you are done would be comfortable. Writing them from scratch? No !

I googled for doing this with AutoHotyKey or Python.
There are some links that I might can use as a start.

as an old video stated, for every yes, there are thousands Nos

some like it, some do not...

They certainly make a lot of decisions for you and don't give you choice - which irritates many (those who love to tinker with everything) and pleases those who feel happy someone did put some thoughts into making the "right" choices for them so that they can focus on what matters to them.
