What is the function of task manager?

Hi John Parker Task manager in the name it suggests that it is the head of all tasks in managing in simple words it can be described as managing the tasks.

Task manager will present or available in any operating system and it can be seen by using ctrl+alt+delete or elsectrl+shift+esc at once if you press then all the tasks that are running are displayed.

The tasks that are running even background are also shown in the task manager and when the system struck's we use the task manager to restore back to old state by ending the task.

It also contains CPU usage you are using by accessing the tasks in your system.

Thank You.

What is the function of task manager?

The main function of task manager is to monitor the applications and the tasks running in the windows operating system.

It provides information to users and administrator who is using the PC & shows the application process, CPU usage, performance, networking, users and finally services.

With the help of this task manager you can end the running program or task which is extremely complicated to end, switch to another task, although you can open new task, you can check the usage of CPU, it portrays the user who is using the pc at the moment and finally, you can shut down the pc as well.

That’s all. I hope will you will be clear now.

Thank you.
