information and Tools > Advanced Tools
Demonstration: Using the Resource Monitor
In this demonstration, you will see how to use Resource Monitor
Demonstration: Analyzing System Performance by Using Data Collector Sets and Performance MonitorIn this demonstration, you will see how to analyze system performance by using data collector sets and performance monitor
Considerations for Monitoring System Performance in Windows 8
• Set a performance baseline to compare the usage on the computer
• Use the Resource Monitor to get a visual data view for all the resources
• Plan monitoring carefully so that system performance is not affected
Lab A: Optimizing Windows 8 Performance

Lab Scenario
Users in A. Datum are about to receive their new Windows 8 computers. You must use Performance Monitor to establish a performance monitoring baseline and measure a typical computer’s responsiveness under a representative load. This will help to ensure that resources, such as RAM and CPU, are specified correctly for these computers.
Lab Review
•What are the benefits of creating a data collector set?
Lesson 2: Managing the Reliability of Windows 8
Problems that Windows Diagnostics Tools Can Help to Resolve
Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool
Windows Network Diagnostics Tool
Reliability Monitor•Problems Reports and Solutions Tool
Problems that Windows Diagnostics Tools Can Help to Resolve
Startup• Malfunctioning memory• Corrupted device drivers• Missing or corrupt startup files• Corrupt disk data
Memory• Application failures• Operating system faults• Stop errors
Network• Interfaces not configured properly• Incorrect IP addresses• Hardware failures• Numerous other problems
Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool
Checks for symptoms of defective computer memory• Runs automatically or can be started from Administrative Tools in Control Panel• Notifies the user of Memory problems and logs the details• Presents the solution to the problem when the computer restarts
Access the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool from the
Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools
Windows Network Diagnostics Tool
Provides assistance in resolving network-related
issues• Diagnoses network problems• Repairs issues automatically• Directs the user to perform simple steps to correct the problem without calling for support
Access the Windows Network Diagnostic Tool from the Network and Sharing Center > Troubleshoot problems > Fix a Network Problem
Reliability Monitor
• Provides a timeline of system changes and reliability• Provides a System Stability Chart• Provides reports on:
• The System Stability Report also provides information about each event in the chart. These reports include the following events:
• Software Installs• Software Uninstalls• Application Failures• Hardware Failures• Windows Failures• Miscellaneous Failures
Reliability monitor:
Problems Reports and Solutions Tool
• Use after the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool or the Windows Network Diagnostics Tool
• View a history of attempts to diagnose a problem• Rerun a check for a problem• See the problem report details
• The following tools are available:• Save reliability history• View all problem reports• Check for solutions to all problems• Clear the solution and problem history
Problem Reports and Solutions Tool:
Lesson 3: Managing Windows 8 Updates

Lab Scenario
When A. Datum received the first shipment of Windows 8 computers, Holly disabled automatic updates because she was concerned that they would cause problems with a custom application on these systems. After extensive testing, you have determined that it is extremely unlikely that automatic updates will cause a problem with this application.
