You will notice that we will have more proccesses than we have applications running. In this tab we can see information about the running process such as the CPU percentage and the memory that it’s using. Process is an instance of an application. Processes TabĪnother tab which you will see is a Processes tab. We can use the Switch To button to start working with the selected application. We can start a new tasks using the New Task button, and then type in the name of a program we want to run. For example, we can use the End Task button if the application is not responding. When we select an application, we can end it or switch to it using the buttons on the bottom. For example, if we have an application that is not responding, that status will be ‘not responding’. Each time we open an application we will get a new entry in the list of running applications. The status next to the application shows us information about the application. The Application tab shows us applications that are currently running and that show up on the Taskbar (with the exception of Task Manager). When you open Task Manager, you will see several different tabs. Every Task Manager feature is described in the Help section, so it might be a good idea to study it if you plan to use advanced features of Task Manager. UsageĪ process is anything that gets sent to the processor. We can use Task Manager to start as well as to end processes, and to view current computer performance. We can also use Run menu (go to Start > Run and then enter ‘ taskmgr‘). You can also use Ctrl + Shift + Esc key combination. Another way is to right-click on the Taskbar and select Task Manager from the popup menu. There are several ways to open Task Manager. You can click Ctrl + Alt + Del and then select Task Manager. If Windows is not able to resolve the problem, we can take advantage of the Task Manager to end the unresponsive application that’s causing the problem. One of the self healing features of Windows OS, is that when a program stops responding, Windows tries to find the problem and fix it automatically.
