What it does

Find the culprit app

Shows the apps and background tasks using the most CPU, with usage and how long it has lasted.

Saturated or one-core bottleneck

Tells a fully loaded CPU apart from a single-thread bottleneck where only one core is maxed out.

Is heat slowing it down?

If clocks drop under load, it checks whether heat or power settings are the reason.

FAQ

Does 100% CPU mean my PC is broken?

Usually not. It's most often a specific app or a background job such as updates or an antivirus scan. Check what's using it first.

Will it close programs on its own?

No. Closing or restarting an app only happens after you confirm it.
