In this tutorial
of the windows 11 tutorial I'll go over some of the changes in Windows 11 task manager
to get to the task manager we need to click here on the start menu we can right click on
it and choose task manager or you can go to the search menu and simply type task manager
we have processes this is the first tab that opens up on the open task manager to the right of it we
have the option to run a new task under processes it lists all the processes that are running under
this user in this PC at this point by clicking on the name here you can sort them by title and you
can navigate to the right hand columns and see the total CPU usage in this PC how much memory
is being used disk usage Network usage and so on typically the PC should be running anywhere
between four and six percent the CPU utilization when doing regular tasks most of the time now
in my case I'm recording this video notice it's using Camtasia recorder and it's using 10 percent
of the CPU just for that if this application was not the one that you were intending to use but
you're noticing that the CPU is running at high utilization then you come in here and you can
click on it and then you select the application and then choose to end task that'll terminate
that application that is potentially causing issues in your PC now obviously I'm not going
to end it because I'm using it for recording if I wanted to end let's say the task manager obviously
it will close this choose end task and it will close adjust that particular process one of the
new features in the new task manager in Windows 11 is the option for you to specify a process
or to define a process to run an efficiency mode so for example let's say we have Microsoft Word
here and we want it to run an efficiency mode now for this you need administrator rights to
your PC so you select Microsoft Word and just then select efficiency mode and then
select turn on efficiency mode and it will run it for only this particular application
for those applications that are running in efficiency mode notice that it'll add this
little icon next to it so the first option on the task manager is the processes that I just
covered the next option on the left is the performance tab this gives you an overview
of the resources and the utilization of these resources in your computer so I click here on
processes or performance and notice I have the processor the CPU here the various speed
the details and the general usage for this particular processor now this under memory
how much memory is being used and then the disk drives and the PC the writing speed and the read
speed further down you also have the graphics utilization for your graphics card in your PC
further down here on the left hand side we have the app history and the utilization of these
applications notice you can delete the usage history for the down we have the applications
and the startup in Windows startup so all of these processes are basically running automatically on
Startup so let's say I'm not using OneDrive you can select from here the application on the left
hand side under the name area and then select here disable so this is how you disable an application
from the windows 11 startup click on it select disable and now that application will not start up
every time you start your PC further down we have the users and all the processes associated with
that user notice that you have also the options here to disconnect a specific user and also to
manage the user accounts so this is another way to get to account management in Windows 11. further
down we have various details if you wanted to see what an application whether the status of it how
much memory is being utilized the architecture and the name of it and so on further down we
have Services these are the various services that are on in the PC and obviously you need
to be careful here not to turn off specific ones that may be necessary if one needs to be
running but it's not then this is where you could click on it and then select or start it up here
on the top right on the very bottom left here we also have the settings for task manager here you
can specify which tab to open automatically when you open Task Manager by default its
processes whether to use a lot of resources what priority to give to this application
and then whether you want this to always stay on top or whether you want to have it minimized when
it's in use and so on when you switch away from this application this top menu here the three
lines in the very top it also gives you a more descriptive view of the task manager [Music]
