How to identify which processes consume most CPU?

[ooker777]

Sorting the processes by CPU only show which ones use most in real time. I want to have a list of top consumption in a range of time, or at least when the total CPU consumption is over a threshold. Any idea?

Maybe the "CPU history" column already does what you're asking for?

Kind of, but is there a longer log so I can examine better? For example, you can see that there is a huge drop on the system idle process, but there is no process being responsible for the consumption. Perhaps it was killed after that `

@ooker777 ever thought of ResourceMonitor, built-in in Windows? It has possibility of creating very detailed logs, so you can select every parameter you want.
Or you can configure CPU history in your SI Toolbar, so you can see and check what process took most of CPU at any moment that is in this history.

In Resource Monitor, what can I do to create detailed logs? I click around but see nothing suits my need:

In SI, just to confirm, the process in the tooltip is the one take most CPU at the moment, right? Because as you can see, firefox only takes up 15%. I don't know what goes to the rest.
