I understand that this is an answer for a necro post. But as I can't see any correct answer here, the solution is lodctr /R . This command will reload counters. Must use a capital R, lower case 'r' returns an error. Remember Admin Privs as well.

First of all, I knew about WMI - Windows Management Instrumentation - but I must admit I did NOT know about WMIC - WMI Command-Line :)

I have found the following blog post that I think helps here:

Rich's Blog - Get Process CPU Usage Using WMI
http://www.techish.net/2009/03/get-process-cpu-usage-using-wmi/

In that blog post, the author uses the Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process class to get the CPU usage of a process (in several ways).

For instance, if the name of the running process is "iexplore" (Internet Explorer) then you would run:

wmic path win32_perfformatteddata_perfproc_process where (Name=iexplore) get Name, Caption, PercentProcessorTime, IDProcess /format:list

Maybe you can do the following: have one open "Command Prompt" window where you run the "ftp command" and have another "Command Prompt" window where you run the wmic path win32_perfformatteddata_perfproc_processquery.

I hope this helps.

Yes, it's possible.

This wmic command prints the CPU usage for all processes. Then you can pipe it to findstr to filter for a particular process (using the flag /c:<process name>).

wmic path Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process get Name,PercentProcessorTime

Do help findstr and help find from the command line to see more ways you can filter the list.

For example:

C:\> wmic path Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process get Name,PercentProcessorTime | findstr /i /c:chrome
chrome                  24
chrome#1                0
chrome#2                0
chrome#3                0

Hello Armani, I'm Quinn, and I'm happy to help you.

AMD Ryzen 5 5500U with Radeon Graphics and AMD64 Family 23 Model 104 Stepping 1 AuthenticAMD - 2100 Mhz both referring to the same CPU but in different levels of detail and presentation. The difference in CPU usage readings between Command Prompt and Task Manager might be due to the Command Prompt providing a less comprehensive or real-time view. To sync or fix this, use PowerShell for a more accurate and real-time CPU. Type this:

Get-Counter '\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time'

Or

Get-WmiObject Win32_Processor

This command provides real-time CPU usage similar to Task Manager.

C:\> wmic cpu get loadpercentage
LoadPercentage
0

Or

C:\> @for /f "skip=1" %p in ('wmic cpu get loadpercentage') do @echo %p%
4%

Firstly, when running from a batch file, the for loop variable needs two percentage symbols - %%p

Secondly, you need to echo %%p, not %p%:

for /f "skip=1" %%p in ('wmic cpu get loadpercentage') do echo %%p

From the command line:

for /f "skip=1" %p in ('wmic cpu get loadpercentage') do echo %p

PowerShell's Get-Counter might do what you're looking for:

To get the disk performance using PowerShell, we need to use the Performance counter of the disk. There are performance counters available for the Physical disk or the logical disk. To check what the disks related counter sets are available we can use the below command,

Example

CounterSetName 

Output

CounterSetName
-------------- 
FileSystem Disk Activity 
Storage Spaces Virtual Disk 
LogicalDisk 
PhysicalDisk 

We will use a Logical disk to get more information about it. We will retrieve its counter first.

Example

Get-Counter -ListSet LogicalDisk | Select -ExpandProperty Counter 

Output

We need to retrieve the Disk read time counter,

Example

Get-Counter -Counter '\LogicalDisk(*)\% Disk Read Time'

Output

The below command will retrieve the 2 sample counts with 2 sample intervals.

Example

Get-Counter -Counter '\LogicalDisk(*)\% Disk Read Time' -MaxSamples 2 -SampleInterval 2 

To get the continuous intervals, use the below command.

Example

Get-Counter -Counter '\LogicalDisk(*)\% Disk Read Time' -Continuous

Idle process is not counted towards total load or else it would have to report always 99%. If all your programs need 50% of your CPU the other 50% are occupied by the idle process. There was probably another program running or initializing wmic put load on the CPU.
