The only way I know is to buy a device called Kill A Watt and plug it in between a machine and the wall. It will tell you exactly what the device pulls in a set period of time.

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

I understand the issue you have, nothing to worry I am here to help.

To view Power usage in Windows 11

On Task manager> Right-click on Name> Then click Power Usage

Kindly refer to the image below.

Let me know how it goes and I hope that helps.

This is not an issue with the power supply. What you're seeing in Task Manager is a feature introduced with Windows 10 version 1809 intended to help users determine which applications are likely to be using more power, based on the application's CPU and GPU load over time.

On laptops, this information can be used to help determine which applications are draining the battery the most. It's of less concern with desktop PCs, so unless your system is somehow shutting down or otherwise actually experiencing a problem under load, you can ignore this field on a desktop system.

You've indicated that you have a GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card installed on your system along with a Ryzen 3 2200G (Raven Ridge). As a quick check, make sure your monitor is plugged into the graphics card and not your motherboard; if it's on the motherboard, you're actually using the processor (integrated) graphics and not the graphics card, which means your GPU is in fact sitting idle. Also, you may need to set the system to use the graphics card in the BIOS; be sure it's is configured to use the PCIe slot first for graphics.

Regardless, your configuration does not exceed the capacity of your power supply. The processor requires 65 W, while the graphics card needs 120 W. These, along with the other parts of the system, would at most require only half of the 600 W capacity of your power supply.

"Your computer can actually analyze itself... this is for windows. Do this: Launch run enter cmd (for administrator mode only) Enter command line "powercfg -ENERGY" It will generate a report named "energy-report.html" Go to C:\Windows\System32\ to open the report. This will at least give you a better clue as to how your computer is using your power in an instance by instance basis." BTW this is for windows 7 and later. IDK about earlier versions.[/quotemsg] Quite interesting... However my report only shows which processes are using how many percent of the CPU. Not how much power is used.
