Top Process for Windows

See on your Stream Deck which app is using the most CPU or memory on your Windows PC right now. When the PC gets slow, the key names the app before you even open Task Manager.

Features

Top CPU: the name of the app that uses the most CPU now and its share (100% = all cores)

Top Memory: the app that holds the most memory and how much (GB or MB)

Show the top app, or the top three on one key

App Watch: the CPU and memory of one app you pick from the running apps, or "not running"

A browser and its helper processes count as one app

The key turns red from the limit you set

Press: open Task Manager

English and Japanese

What the numbers are

CPU: the processor time the app used, divided by all logical processors, read every 2 seconds and averaged over about 6 seconds

Memory: the private working set (memory in use that belongs to that app alone). Task Manager can show a slightly different number

Names are program file names without ".exe" (for example "explorer")

Privacy

The names of your running apps are read to draw the keys. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere.

Read only: it does not end, slow down or change any app or setting
