Windows 11 can help users quickly know their PC’s performance, here’s how – Times of India

Microsoft has reportedly added new features in Windows Widgets for Windows 11. These additions will enable users to monitor CPU, memory and GPU usage. Microsoft’s new release of a Dev Home app includes these new widgets
According to a report, these widgets can be used to monitor processor utilisation and speed, memory usage, GPU temperatures and usage as well as Wi-Fi or Ethernet speeds. The report said that the new widgets are more useful than the usual widgets.
It is to be noted that Windows 11 already offers system monitoring resources and they can be accessed by Task Manager, Resource Monitor, Game Bar or a third-party app.
The new widgets essentially make the process of keeping an eye on the system’s performance easy.
Widgets may be buggy
According to the report, the widgets may be a little buggy at this time, which is probably the reason why the Dev Home app is still in preview.
Those interested can try these new widgets on Windows 11 by heading to the Microsoft Store and installing the Dev Home Preview app. The widgets will then be available in the Windows Widgets section and users can add them using the ‘+’ button at the top.
Other Windows 11 features
At Build 2023 Microsoft announced a few features for Windows 11. One of the most prominent features is Windows Copilot, an artificial intelligence (AI) powered virtual assistant that will answer user queries like Bing Chat. It will be integrated directly into Windows 11 and can be accessed from the taskbar at any point in time.
“We are introducing Windows Copilot, making Windows 11 the first PC platform to announce centralised AI assistance to help people easily take action and get things done,” the company said.
The company also brought native support for RAR file compression format and a force quit option. This option will enable users to close crashed and/ or buggy apps directly from the taskbar without having to open the Task Manager.
