How Many Cores A Process Is Using

[hadri]

OK, I feel very embarrassed to ask this, but I can't find the answer I want on google.

Simply put, how in Win10 can I see how many cores a process is using? It's not glaringly obvious to me in the resource monitor as it gives overall cpu usage.

Reason for asking is my CPU usage in Elite VR is very low

You can use something like MSI afterburner to monitor CPU usage in game. Unless your running lots of other process in the background (video encoding, Youtube etc) at the same time your CPU usage will be 99% done to what Elite is calling for.

As above just look at what each core is doing, and assume that about 0-5% of usage is background.

If you want to get fancier Process Explorer (by sysinternals.com) can produce a graph showing which process used the most CPU on a core by core basis.

Edit: Misread!

You can easily monitor each CPU utilisation, but I'm not sure you can easily monitor a process across cores, even process explorer only lists total cpu usage. I'm not sure it's possible without debug kernel settings after a quick google.

If it's just seeing each core from task manager CPU graph, then it's the fairly un-intuitive right click on graph, change view to logical processors.

Thanks guys, I think I'm being OTT. I'll just look at each core and assume a main program is causing the peaks.

You can use Task Manager and if you want more details, click on Resource Monitor at the bottom.

That's what I've been doing mate, I was just wondering if there was a definite way of seeing if x program is utilising y number logical processors and to what extent, but it doesn't seem like you can - or its not easy! I'll just stick with making the assumption based on what you've done.
