Explanation
Windows Performance Monitor (perfmon.exe) supports Data Collector Sets and Alert actions that can notify an administrator when a performance counter - such as CPU utilization - exceeds a defined threshold for a sustained period. Task Manager shows real-time usage but cannot send alerts. Task Scheduler runs scheduled tasks but does not monitor performance counters. System Configuration (msconfig) is for boot and startup settings, not monitoring.
