Fantastic debugging tool

When I was trying to work out why my exe had a massive GDI leak (https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=84697), I found this awesome StackOverflow post -> https://stackoverflow.com/a/78464962/7908170
Which led me to download an archived version of the "Microsoft Performance HUD tool" -> http://web.archive.org/web/202207191116 ... ?id=100813
Which in turn reported the following GDI leaks in my exe in the screenshot below.
As you can see, the "Description" column shows me which items I need to re-check for leaks. I'm VERY hopeful now!
This is such a fantastic tool to have! Don't know why Microsoft discontinued it, but at least it's been archived for download.
BTW, this app attaches a little window to your own app's window so you can see its CPU %, memory, GDI count, etc. No need for Task Manager!
Hope this post helps someone else in future.
