This guide provides simple instructions to check CPU and RAM usage on your Windows Server VPS using Task Manager.
How to Monitor Usage
Log Into Your VPS
Connect to your VPS using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) as described in the connection guides. Open Task Manager
Right-click on the Windows taskbar located at the bottom of the screen. In the menu that appears, click on “Task Manager”.View CPU and RAM Usage
In Task Manager:
- Click on the Performance tab at the top.
- On the left side, select CPU to see real-time CPU usage, cores, and utilization.
- Select Memory (RAM) to view total RAM, used/available memory, and other details.
Keep Task Manager open to monitor usage in real-time while running your applications (e.g., MT4/MT5).
If usage is consistently high (above 80%), consider upgrading your plan or optimizing your setup by closing unnecessary applications. Last modified on March 29, 2026
