How do you access the Activity Monitor in macOS?

Accessing the Activity Monitor in macOS is primarily done through the Utilities folder within the Applications directory or by using Spotlight Search. The Utilities folder contains various system utilities, and Activity Monitor is one of them, allowing users to monitor system performance, CPU usage, memory usage, and more.

Using Spotlight Search is particularly efficient, as you can quickly start typing "Activity Monitor," and it will appear as a search result, allowing you to open it without navigating through folders.

Other methods, such as right-clicking the desktop, do not provide a direct option to access the Activity Monitor. The System Preferences menu is also focused on configuration settings and doesn't include utility applications like Activity Monitor within its options. While some users might place Activity Monitor in the Dock for easier access, it is not a default or direct method for accessing it.
