Activity Monitor Not Displaying Correct Info

[Heat_Fan89]

Can someone tell me how to get it back? On the the menu bar it only list Process Name. It no longer shows the percentage of CPU activity. I had an issue today where I had something running, couldn't tell but with Activity Mon only running the CPU was at 27% active. It's usually running at 98% idle just sitting at the Desktop and no apps running.

Here's a screenshot of what it now looks like.

The process name column is too wide. Scroll over to the right and slide the rest of the columns back to the left.

In the View options in the menu bar you can toggle on and off a whole bunch of columns for each screen . You can also toggle if it shows all processes, only app processes, only user processes, etc.

Haha, I didn’t even look at the screenshot when I wrote my post. The process name column does indeed look like its width is set quite high

Also, right click right there in the Process Name bar and you get quick access to all the info you can have present.

Thank you that did the trick !

I just wonder how it got that way? I didn't touch anything, just launched AM and that's how it looked.

Check in the View menu, in Columns. Make sure that all items that you want to monitor are turned on.
If that is not helpful, Quit your Activity Monitor.
Go to your user/Library/Preferences folder, find the file com.apple.ActivityMonitor.plist
Drag that file to the trash. Likely don't need to - but restart your Mac, then open Activity Monitor. It should be back to original defaults.

Thanks I was aware of that but it's good for other to know as well.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for the future if it acts up again !

Here's what it looks like now after following the first suggestion.
