Subject: CPU History graphs are all 0%
Posted: 13 April 2014 at 10:15pm
Thank you Mark via MagicAndre1981. Your implementation is trying to conserve memory and you suggested opening a dialog view or scrolling a list view. These do not solve my problem.
1. On modern hardware, would a few dozen small CPU History graphs really use a significant amount of memory? An earlier version of Process Explorer used to display the graphs correctly on an old machine I owned that had much less memory than my current machine, and Process Explorer was non-intrusive on the older machine.
2. Opening the process properties dialog for a particular process does display its cpu history graph correctly, but this doesn't meet my need. I want to be able to glance simultaneously at all the cpu history graphs of my several dozen active processes to see which ones are consuming cpu resources. This used to work correctly and effortlessly on the earlier Process Explorer version I mentioned. I don't know in advance which processes are the cpu hogs and therefore do not know which process properties dialogs to open.
3. Scrolling the list view cell into view does not fix the problem I originally reported. The cpu history graph of the process row to which I scroll remains flat at 0%, even though its process is actually consuming about 12-13% of my CPU. Perhaps I misunderstand your suggestion; could you provide more details? Maybe your calculation is incorrect for whether the cell is being displayed. I reported earlier that the CPU and Tree CPU numbers are reported correctly for this process. Finally, invoking View / Refresh Now does not cause the process's graph to display.
