Windows Health Check

Windows Health Check gives you a good overview of your system's health. Besides general details about your operating system, it also shows vital signs, like resources usage, transfer rates and others. This lightweight and easy to use tool can be quite useful to have around, especially if your system is not behaving like it should and you want to know what is going on.

The application is offered completely free of charge, for all popular Windows platforms, including the 2008 and 2012 Server editions. Its setup package is small, so you can download it and install its components in no time.

All the information Windows Health Check has to offer is presented on a single page, on the same user interface. You can find two dials for CPU and memory usage, graphs for disk space usage, network and disk transfer rates, DNS and DHCP availability and a top 10 processes list, according to their resource usage.

The presented information can be refreshed automatically every minute or every few minutes, up to one hour. Of course, manually refreshing the information is another possibility.

Another important aspect is the fact that Windows Health Check is not limited to your local host, but it works with servers as well. Before the application displays any information, you have to click a Connect button and choose a server or your local host on a small window. Connections are established in just a few seconds, so you can start your work without any delays.
