What is the task manager?

The Task Manager is a built-in tool in Windows that allows you to view and manage the processes and programs running on your computer. It provides detailed information about the performance and resource usage of your system, and allows you to end tasks, start new tasks, and perform other maintenance and troubleshooting tasks.

To open the Task Manager in Windows 11, you can use one of the methods described in below. Once it's open, you'll see a list of the processes and programs currently running on your system, along with information about their CPU, memory, and network usage. You can use the Task Manager to identify which processes are using up the most resources, and to end or suspend tasks if necessary.

In addition to the main Processes tab, the Task Manager also includes several other tabs that provide additional information and options. The Performance tab shows real-time graphs of your system's CPU, memory, disk, and network usage, as well as a summary of your hardware and system information. 

The Startup tab allows you to manage which programs run automatically when you start your computer. The Users tab shows which user accounts are currently logged in to the system, and allows you to disconnect or log off users. And the Services tab allows you to view and manage the services that are running on your system.
