Solved Task Manager not showing memory utilization per process
Hi guys,
As the title says, my Task Manager is not reporting the memory utilization for any running processes.
Here is a screenshot that describes best the problem I'm having.
If anyone has a solution to my problem, please let me know.

Go to search, by start button and type resource monitor. It should show and is better information than task manager.

Yep, Resource Monitor shows memory utilization and thank you for pointing that out but I would still like to know what's causing my problem

When you click on view, do you have select columns and then private working set checked?

Never had this before, so we have to experiment and hope.
Untick private working settings, boot the computer check it again and boot the computer.

Awesome. I won't pretend to know how or why it does, but glad I could pull something out of the internet for ya that worked on the first shot. Perhaps you did something related to this earlier that caused this to happen?
