The best tutorial I have found on how to get the preview installed and running is here.

I had to change the TrustedHosts list, add a registry key, and set a couple of services to automatic start for example, so it's not a tool for novices (who would get next to nothing out of it in any case). What's interesting for me is the new Performance Monitor that's included in the Windows Admin Tool.īecause it's a preview tool still it takes a bit of work to get it to install and connect to your PC.

This tool also explains why the existing Performance Monitor is seemingly deprecated (although Microsoft haven't said so - yet).īasically the Windows Admin Center is a browser based tool that allows you to manage many computers from one place, it's still useful for managing just the one computer too. It's actually not that new, the preview (which is all that's available right now) was announced over a year ago, but I've only just come across it in relation to the Windows Performance Monitor so I thought it worth mentioning here.
