Regardless of the version of Windows you are using, Task Manager is a frequently used tool as it is very important for system maintenance. With Task Manager, you can quickly terminate unresponsive programs, start new tasks, monitor system performance and activities, get detailed information about running processes, and quickly look at system resources such as CPU, RAM, and hard drive.
Because it’s such an important tool, Windows offers several ways to open the Task Manager. This is especially useful because of its availability, and knowing these separate methods can be very helpful in a variety of situations. Below is an updated list of ways to help open the Task Manager in Windows 10. Many, but not all, of these techniques will apply to earlier versions of Windows.
