    left -> right: CPU, RAM, Disk, Battery

- The CPU and RAM section are clickable buttons, which opens up a panel of all the child processes (and their child, so it's recursive) and their hardware usages.

## Settings

You can found the settings in `Tools` -> `Options` -> `ResourceMonitor`

## Background

Windows 11 `taskmgr` does not correctly group child process created by Visual Studio. `taskmgr` shows currently it does not have any child process, which in reality, has many and all of them lying under background process.

## Plans

- ~~Add a setting menus for changing the refresh speed.~~ √ 

- ~~Add settings for displaying different things.~~ √ 

- ~~Able to run on start up~~ √ 

- ~~Visual Studio 2022 support~~ √
