The Resource Monitor button isnt located at the bottom of the window in Task Manager anymore, instead it is located in a menu (the three dots) in the top right of the window

Thanks for catching this, do you think refining the entire step would be a bit better?

Firstly, launch all of the apps that you generally have going. Open a few browser tabs, get your email going, etc. Aim for an average session that’s a bit on the intensive side, but don’t open every app on your machine. If you have an intensive game you’re trying to run, open that. The example below is a laptop that’s running Outlook, IE with several tabs, Chrome with several tabs, Notepad, Windows Explorer, a couple of chat apps, Dropbox and Snag-It. Then:

Windows 10

  1. Launch Task Manager: Right-click the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and then click Task Manager.
  2. Switch to the ‘Performance’ tab, click the ‘Resource Monitor…’ button at the bottom.

Windows 11

  1. Launch Task Manager: Right-click the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and then click Task Manager.
  2. Under the "3 dot" menu in the top right corner of Task Manager click ‘Resource Monitor’

Yes I think that does a better job describing step by step instructions. however one more thing, before proceeding to step 2 in Windows 11, you will also need to be in the Performance tab. The resource monitor button will not be present in the first tab in the 3 dot menu

Sounds good, if that note is added too it looks good to merge
