When a **#WindowsServer** server is performing poorly, you can use the **Performance Monitor** to monitor the disks.
Start **`perfmon`**.
Select **`Physical Disk`** → **`Average Queue Length`**.
This is similar to observing the disk activity lights. Under normal usage, this value should be around **3 to 4**. If it is significantly higher, that indicates a problem.
Under **`Process`**, you can select **`IO Data Bytes/sec`** per process to check how much disk activity a process requires.
