Explanation
resmon.exe is Resource Monitor, a built-in Windows tool that provides real-time, detailed visibility into CPU, memory, disk, and network activity - including which specific processes are responsible for disk I/O. It is the correct tool to confirm and diagnose suspected high disk activity. msconfig.exe (B) manages startup items and boot configuration. dfrgui.exe (C) is the Disk Defragmenter, used to optimize disk layout, not to diagnose I/O issues. msinfo32.exe (D) displays system information and hardware inventory. Only Resource Monitor gives live, per-process disk I/O data.
