Get CPU Usage (etc.) Using Windows Store Applications

Question

I want to read things like CPU usage, memory usage, etc. I usually do this with PerformanceCounter. But in assemblies for UWP this is not. So how is this done in Windows Universal Apps?

Answer 1

you need to use your own calls and pinvoke. see my other post. looking for libraries to use the processor, but memory usage and processor information are processed in this message
