Configure memory monitor

- [Instructor] Here's another tool you may find useful in Diagnostic Tools. You can see it here in this Memory Usage tab, and you can see it's running here how much process memory we're using. If you don't see it, you can either collapse, so you can make it visible by clicking on this drop arrow, or if it's not visible at all, you might need to go to Select Tools and choose Memory Usage. Now this tool is on by default, so when you have a brand-new installation of Visual Studio and you debug your first application, this screen's going to pop up. And you'll see this running status of how much memory are we using, and some people get annoyed looking at this, so they either collapse this part, or more what likely happen is they close or hide the diagnostics window. So this shows you how to turn it on, the next video we'll look at how to use it and take snapshots of your memory.
