Your computer is running slower than usual. Where should you look to find out which applications are consuming the maximum number of resources?

Administrative Tools contains utilities for system management but does not directly show real-time application resource consumption in one view.

Device Manager is used for managing hardware devices and drivers, not for monitoring application resource usage.

The System Tray (or Notification Area) displays background application icons but does not provide details on their resource consumption.

Task Manager provides real-time information about running processes, applications, and services, including their CPU, memory, disk, and network usage, allowing you to identify resource-intensive applications. This tool is specifically designed for monitoring system performance and managing running tasks.

Network and Sharing Center is used for managing network connections and settings, not for monitoring overall application resource usage.
