"Anyone know a decent, free, cpu and memory monitor for W10? Simple, not some complicated lunacy with 50 skins?"

Well, off hand while it provides more than you want, HWINFO64 can provide that and more, by the grace of God.

For above: Install and run HWinfo64 + then check Sensors only and then Run. Then hit Configure Sensors at the bottom, + then scroll and (if you want) click on Physical memory load and then hit “Show it in tray” and below that you can choose colors, then do the same for Total CPU usage. Then check your system tray and place your cursor on the icons. If you like it then right click on your desktop and hit Personalize, and then scoll down and hit Taskbar (hit > to the right to expand) and then hit Taskbar overflow (which MS decided to call the System tray) and find the HWiNFO icons and hit ON. Next, make a shortcut to the HWiNFO64.exe file, and leave that window open, and then open %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (paste in Run command) and then copy the shortcut and paste it in the Start menu You may have to choose Sensors only and then Run at logon.
