SlowWhy is a lightweight system monitoring and optimization tool built with C# and WPF on .NET 8. It helps users diagnose performance issues by monitoring hardware metrics and provides tools to optimize system resources.
Note: This application is self-contained and does not require the .NET Runtime to be installed on your machine; therefore, the file size is larger than usual. Also, please note that this is the initial release (v1.0), so it may contain bugs or imperfections reflecting the early stages of development.
