In Windows 10 I used to open up the Task Manager from the taskbar. When you right-click on the taskbar and there was an option to open Task Manager. In Windows 11 this option is removed, don’t worry there is more than one way to open Task Manager in Windows 11. You can use the keyboard shortcut, through a simple Run command, or even from the Start button. Let’s see how to access Task Manager in Windows 11 quickly.
