W11 22H2 and 1.84 - CPU usage shown in TrafficMonitor still way below real usage

Open stef-CH opened this issue 2 years ago • 10 comments

First of all, many thanks to zhongyang2190 for the latest update to 1.84!

The CPU usage shown in TrafficMonitor is about 3-4 times lower than the CPU usage shown in the task manager. This issue came up after upgrading to 22H2.

Have you set like this? image

The above shows the correct operation, I adjusted and it seems to be OK now

When I change the acquisition method to "Use the performance counter", then TrafficMonitor simply shows 0%, no matter how hard the CPU is working . . . . .

Are you using Lite version?

I followed the method and watched the task manager, the CPU ratio is nearly the same. That's why I confirmed the method is useful. Do not use the lite version, :)

Thanks @jovanzers and @soleilven Actually I tried both versions, the full one and the lite. Same behaviour with both, as soon as I change to "Use the performance counter", TrafficMonitor shows CPU at 0%.

As it's working on your side I assume that it is an issue on my side only. Thanks anyway

Actually it's not just you. However, "Use performance counter" never showed anything different from "0% use" for me ever in TrafficMonitor under Windows 11. So I kind of got used to it.

TrafficMonitor retrieves the hardware data by using the library of LibreHardwareMonitor. I now checked the CPU usage by using LibreHardwareMonitor directly . . . and there's the issue! LibreHardwareMonitor shows the CPU usage of all individual cores correctly but the calculation of the total is wrong.

There's nothing wrong with TrafficMonitor and I assume we will have to wait for an update of the respective library from LibreHardwareMonitor.

If I understood correctly, LibreHardwareMonitor was updated and now the data "CPU Total" is displayed correctly 7U8BrT3JCo
