I can't move the graphs to the left or right side of the program window. But how do I get to choose which network adapter I want to monitor in Resource Monitor?Īnother concern, is that the layout of the various graphs and stuff in Resource Monitor doesn't seem to be customizable. So my conclusion is that it's monitoring the wrong network adapter where there is no activity at the moment. 0 to 20 Mbps if current speed is 18 Mbps, etc. So the graph should really scale up to 100 Mbps really, or within the scope of the actual speed, i.e. You saw in the previous screenshot that I have a 100 Mbps network adapter. As if I had a 56K modem in there! But I don't. You can see that the "Network" graph is scaled up to "56 Kbps". So the graph is very important to me, as it allows me to follow trends. For that reason, the Kbps reading alone is not very helpful.
The Kbps reading is obviously only displaying the instant sampled speed reading. On the top of the window, there are four graphs "CPU", "Disk", "Network", "Memory". There's also a list of processes utilizing the network. If you look at the Network pull-down menu on the main window you can see a 0 Kbps reading and 0% "Network Utilization". In response to James' answer, here is what the network monitor part of my Resource Monitor looks like.

I just don't understand why they must display it as percent!? Update 1: Using Resource Monitor I feel like the network monitor in Task Manager should be able to do this.

I don't need any special network monitoring software suite for enterprise networks, nothing fancy! Just a simple MByte/s or Mbit/s reading for my network adapters. So is it possible to change the configuration so that the actual transfer speed is displayed in terms of MByte/s or Mbit/s, or even KByte/s or Kbit/s?
I don't really want to do this calculation in my head each and every time. For example, if the link speed is "100 Mbps" (Mega bit per second) and the network utilization is 25%, then this translates to a transfer speed of 25 Mbit/s. Under the Network tab of Windows Task Manager, I can only see "Network Utilization" and "Link Speed".
