How to Run Task Manager on Windows 11 (6-Ways)
A task manager is a system monitor tool that provides information about the processes and programs operating on a computer, as well as the machine's overall state. Method 1: Run Window To ...
- Of course, Task Manager is a very useful tool and we need to open it from time to time but now it is sad to see that the most convenient option for opening Task Manager (Right-Clicking on Taskbar>Task Manager) has disappeared. I suggest to Microsoft should bring back this option since I am using this way back from Windows XP till Windows 10.
They should bring back the right click on task bar option.
michaelcookeHear, hear! I don't understand Microsoft's decision in this regard. It is not as if the presence of the task manager was intrusive or anything. On the contrary, it was quite useful when one of the apps (in my case, Outlook) crashed.
Just do a search & add it to the Task Bar
yes it takes a couple of seconds to first do
- Yes it is kinda stpd why remove something it was widely used.
- Right? There's no reason for them to have removed that. All it left us with is "taskbar settings" as if that helps, at all.
same as having to go another menu deep to open up properties on files. I feel like I'm running windows mobile where it felt like a skin of Windows 95 over top of windows 3.1I know right, still reserching see if it's possible to add it back maybe though register andsoitgoes
michaelcooke I completely agree.
Microsoft team, we would appreciate you to bring back the Right Click on Taskbar > Task Manager option. This was used heavily and very convenient way to access this function.Thanks!
- Actually I have an idea for the windows development team. People coming from windows 3,1-95 area has some solid habits for buttons, menus, shortcuts etc. But microsoft hiring new generation developers, and these people don't have same habits with us. They easily killing some most used features for god knows which motivation. After windows 8, whole things gonna messed up. If I don't depend new hardware I definitely not switch new windows versions. Windows trying be more user friendly like macos. But actually its not working.
- This right here. Oddly, it goes in opposite directions. UI is going towards removing usefulness so users don't mess things up. It takes seven clicks to get to actual network settings instead of other OS'es, right-click and you're in. On the opposite end, administrative tools aren't even being introduced anymore and instead, are pushed in to PowerShell as if that's anything other than a beta solution if it's not in a UI because it's called WINDOWS, not SHELL. The functionality is becoming a cell phone OS on a computing system, all while collecting "telemetry" and disabling people from fixing the issues simply. If Windows ran like iOS or Android, it might not be so bad, but it most certainly does not.
Stop making the desktop versions like cell phone OS'es. From Metro on up, the UI has lost it's way, and it's made apparent by the lackluster Windows 11 upgrade numbers. I get more requests to consider Mac and Linux desktops by the day because if Windows is trying to be iOS, just get iOS. Stop using cell phone developers and adhere to the universal UX design principals that have been around for a generation. And stop removing shortcuts. That's huge. You now need to have odd features enabled like Snap in the OS just to use keyboard shortcuts to move items from monitor to monitor with Win-Shift-Arrow.... such an odd choice.
So please bring back W2K UI so we can use the product again? I don't need news on my menu, I need Task Manager
Agreed, Nathan_Scott. Maybe they could also fix the bug that turns a taskbar icon brown at the same time? The icon stays brown until you close and unpinx before pinning again.
Try right clicking the windows button on the taskbar, it's available there along with other useful shortcuts.
Right click of Start button no longer has Task Manager - users of Windows need a stable/easy way to access this tool. Numerous old standby tools have been changed or removed in Win 11 which is not a good way to keep customers.
