How to Add or Remove the Task Manager shortcut in the Taskbar context menu in Windows 11?
One of the convenient ways to open Task Manager in Windows OS is using the taskbar context menu but Microsoft removed this option in Windows 11. Don’t Wory, Now you can have it back. You can now open the Task Manager directly from the taskbar’s context menu in WIndows 11, as you did in Windows 10. this change will be reflected in the stable Windows 11 build. However, even after installing the update, some Windows 11 devices may not have an option to open Task Manager in the taskbar context menu. This is because the feature is still rolling out gradually. In that case, you can enable this option forcefully today and benefit from having quick and convenient access to the Task Manager. Here’s how to do it.
