This program displays system resources on the Taskbar

Windows Xmeters

The taskbar holds several essential components of the Windows user interface: Start button, recorded applications, open windows, System Tray, clock, and possibly a quick desktop view. An additional option is custom Toolbars that are placed between open windows and the System Tray section.

A program called  XMeters creates a Toolbar that contains information about system resources: CPU, Storage, Network, and Memory. Three display types can be selected for each component: Bar, Pie, and Text.

By default, it is set that all components are enabled: CPU - Bar, Storage - Text, Network - Text, Memory - Pie. You can change the display type, colors, and refresh interval individually. The free version has everything enabled but you can't reduce the refresh interval to less than 3 seconds.

xmeters windows settings

After the classic installation, the program will try to create a Toolbar and you need to allow it. Then the settings window opens. When you're done with the settings, close the window and that's it!

You reopen the settings when you right-click somewhere on that Toolbar. Left-clicking opens the Windows Task Manager.
