How can Memory Usage be monitored in Performance Monitor?

[ProfRon]

You know how sometimes your PC slows down like it's dragging its feet? I check memory usage in Performance Monitor to spot that culprit quick. Just hit up the search bar on your start menu. Type in Performance Monitor and launch it. I always do that first thing when things feel off.

It opens this graph window that looks a bit busy at first. You click on the plus sign to add counters. I pick Memory from the list that pops up. Then grab the one called "% Committed Bytes In Use" or something simple like that. It shows you the squeeze on your RAM right away.

Watch the line wiggle as you use apps. I like seeing if it spikes too high during games or work. You can set alerts too if it gets wild. Just right-click and tweak those options. Keeps you from surprises later.
