Windows 8 Task Manager Settings Enhanced Content Listing

When you open Task Manager for the first time in Windows 8, it is a completely different interface from Windows 7, a simple information mode. This mode is equivalent to the application tag of Windows 7. At this time, only the programs that are running now are displayed. If the program is not responding, there will be a red prompt after the program, which allows the user to locate the corresponding program at a glance.

After clicking on the details, a complete task manager will be presented.

First of all, on the Process tab, the biggest change is to enumerate the corresponding resources occupied by each process after the program process. The second point is that if a process contains multiple processes, you can click on the previous triangle to view the detailed status of the child process.

At the same time, right-click on the process, you can have further operations, here are two commands:

1, the end of the process. This command is now much faster, and it is no longer waiting for the response of the program to close it directly. As a result, the program will be closed more quickly, but if the data is not saved, it will be lost directly without any reminder.

2. Online search command. When you see some processes in the Task Manager that are not known to the process, Windows 8 allows you to use the online search command to directly call the default browser's default search engine to search for this process. If you want to change your search engine, you only need to change your browser's default search engine.

Click on the Performance tab, and now Windows 8 displays CPU, memory, disk, and Ethernet resource usage in a more intuitive color icon.

Of course, we can still open the resource monitor by clicking on “Open Resource Monitor”, and Resource Monitor has no major changes compared to Windows 7.

Application History allows you to view the corresponding resource usage of each application for some data analysis.

And the startup tab finally allows us to use the “msconfig” command to call up the system configuration, which makes it easy to set the startup item. Of course, the system will also give a judgment on the impact of the startup at the end.

If a program does not need to be booted, right-click on this program and select Disable.

The details tab is similar to the previous Windows 7 process label, but lists the information for each subprocess in more detail.

As for other tags, there is not much change compared to Windows 7, so I won't describe it much here.
