Get your assassin boots on
, there’s loads of processing power siphoned away towards different parts of your operating system, like notification centers, apps that are updating themselves, and even File Explorer. So, that means a lot of processes kick into gear at startup.
A lot of these processes are pretty harmless and won’t impact your PC too much, but having a lot going on before you start whatever you’ve set out to do can slow down your device or completely freeze it. When that happens, you have to open Task Manager, see what’s causing the problem and kill it. With Windows 11 Build 25300, Microsoft will make it easier to quickly kill an entire task or background process right from your taskbar.
It’s exactly the same process as opening up the Task Manager, but it makes the whole process much faster. Seeing the taskbar actually become useful is a pretty pleasant surprise. Microsoft drastically overhauled the taskbar for Windows 11, but the changes weren't well received - especially as Microsoft removed some of the handy features we'd come to expect in the taskbar. A lot of the useful features we’ve uncovered surrounding the, like the very simple but super helpful Task Manager shortcut we discussed here.
It should be noted that Microsoft is testing improvements like this in Windows 11 preview builds, and a lot are hidden and might only be enabled if you play with code or just happen to be lucky while messing around. These early builds are also only available to people who have signed up as Windows Insiders to help test out upcoming versions of Windows 11. If you haven't signed up, you may have to wait a while for this handy hack to make it to your PC.
