Windows 8 support is different. As such, the tried-and-true Ctrl-Alt-Delete won’t directly get you to the task manager in Windows 8. Instead, you’ll need a different combination. Yes, Ctrl-Alt-Delete will still work, but won’t directly get you to the task manager.
Here’s the fastest way to go to your Windows 8 task manager:
- Type Ctrl-Shift-Esc all together. That’s it. Then, you’ll be directly in the Task Manager.
Why would you need to access the Task Manager?
- Unresponsive program
- Freezing application
- Slow program
- Too many Windows open
- Virus removal process
- Computer is too slow
