    So, yeah: I installed this, and was impressed, just because it's an .appx package. I mean, how do you even create those?

    Other than that: it did not immediately crypto-lock my laptop and/or ramp up my GPU mining Führercoins, so that was good too.

    Other than that: I did not really see any metrics worth of attention, so I uninstalled the app again, which seemed to work fine as well.

    Thrilling stuff, I know…

    I usually lean on Resource Monitor when I need this kind of info, but it's clunky – so this looks useful!

    > Native WinUI–fast startup, light operation

    Did anyone notice the Windows Calc app became quite slow to startup recently? It takes 2+ seconds to transform from the empty window with a calc icon to the actual calculator UI.

    I should get Win7 calc.

    procmon and process explorer from sysinternals are really good. and there is performance counters.

    Looks great. Thanks. One thing, maybe make it clear that it's free? I went looking for pricing especially when I saw the support link at the top.

    As an alternative, I use the free community-edition netdata — love it at my job, and it works right out of the box on my personal windows and linux machines.

    https://www.netdata.cloud/pricing/

    (don't let the `.cloud` scare you off, they have a 100% free and functional local-only install)

    It's insanely powerful and with some configuration can persist the metrics in a local database.

    Nice job! I love the clean interface. Is this written in C#?

    Looks interesting, thanks! Another one I like that hasn't been mentioned elsewhere in this thread is Process Hacker.
