I want to display the current network speed, the read/write speed of the hard disk, CPU and memory usage in taskbar, especially network and hard drive usage, so I can detect unusual activity in time.

Before I used "XMeters" on Windows 10, but now it no longer updates and doesn't support Windows 11; I found a similar tool called "TrafficMonitor", but it seemed unsafe, this is a VT report on TrafficMonitor_V1.84.1_x64.zip.

Is there a safe tool that similar XMeters or TrafficMonitor?

Tray Monitor might be what you are looking for, it replaced XMeters for me on Windows 11.

    Excellent, simple and customizable to the point. I have used my fair share of monitoring softwares, and this is my favorite so far. Commented Jan 22 at 21:44

I have been using gadgets for a while. They are like android widgets. In particular Network Monitor or Network Meter.

INTERNET & NETWORK [x5] Sidebar FOR REAL GEEKS ONLY — INTERNET & NETWORK MONITORING GADGETS.

Use all possibilities of internet agents with maximum effect and minimum effort. With these Windows 11 and Windows 10 internet gadgets, you can check your network in a minute. You can monitor your connection and/or NIC status, external IPv4/IPv6 address, DNS, MAC address and much more. Use any browser straight from the desktop and gain any important information you need in a few seconds. These mini-applications can be very useful helpers. Works with wired and wireless networks.

I am not associated with them.

Not sure how detailed you need it to be, but Process Explorer has smaller tray icons with graphs that you can enable in Options -> Tray Icons. It's a very popular app thanks to its other features and surely works with Windows 11.

And if you'd prefer something more like gadgets recommended in a different answer, I would say that Rainmeter is the best app for that purpose with lots of options and extensions.

  • Thanks, but not I want; I want to show the percentages of hardware usage and network speed in taskbar, like TrafficMonitor. Commented Feb 16, 2023 at 13:20
  • Process Explorer does it in tray part of taskbar as explained. temp.sh/ASegO/… Commented Feb 16, 2023 at 13:46
  • Thanks, but I mean I want to show that like trafficmonitor. I want to directly display the read/write speed of the hard disk and the network speed without moving the mouse over it to display it. This function is already available in the task manager. If you can't see it directly in real time, what's the difference with me watching it in the task manager? Commented Feb 17, 2023 at 15:43
