Hello, members. I have a few quick questions: if I have enough available C.P.U. cores, can Windows allocate more than four? Also, can it assign system processes to specific cores on a 64-core CPU? Another point—what’s the maximum RAM the OS can use without apps running? Lastly, is there a way to set up a dedicated monitor for showing system stats and telemetry, including an unminimizable task manager section?

Yes, it depends on the version, but they all accommodate 64 cores on Windows 10. The specifics change across editions. It's a solid capacity (128GB on home), so you can run those apps on one screen and multitask on others.

The scheduler in Windows determines which threads are assigned to which cores, though precise control is limited without process affinity settings. Without further adjustments, you can't reliably predict core allocation. Some theories suggest Windows favors Core 0 for specific tasks. There are limits (like the 128GB mentioned), but a standard 64-bit system can handle up to about 2^64 bytes—roughly 18.4467441 exabytes. To improve visibility, open Task Manager on your preferred monitor, go to Options, and enable "Always on Top" while disabling "Minimize on Use." It's not perfect, but pressing Win+D will still reduce it. Alternatively, tools like Rainmeter can display relevant statistics directly on the desktop.
