Why might a user choose Resource Monitor over Task Manager?

A user might choose Resource Monitor over Task Manager because Resource Monitor provides more detailed information about system performance and resource usage. While Task Manager presents a streamlined view of currently running processes and applications, Resource Monitor breaks down the data further into categories such as CPU, memory, disk, and network usage. This allows users to delve deeper into how system resources are allocated and utilized. For instance, users can monitor individual processes, their associated services, and identify which processes are consuming the most resources. This level of detail can be particularly useful for troubleshooting performance issues or understanding complex interactions between applications.

Choosing Resource Monitor is valuable for users requiring granular insight into resource consumption patterns and system performance metrics, which is not as comprehensively covered in Task Manager.
