Entering the task manager from the taskbar can be the most commonly used way. Move your mouse cursor to the taskbar blank place, right click your mouse button, and select Task Manager. Personally, I think Windows Start Menu is a good design for Windows, which is the basic part of Windows Graphical User Interface and strengthens the communications between people and computer.
Right click the Windows icon and select Task Manager from the pop-up menu. This is also an easy way. The Windows search box can open all the built-in applications and installed programs. If there is no result for your search, it will provide the online results for you. To use the Search box to enter Task Manager, what you should do is to type task in the search box.
In all the results, click Task Manager. Of course, you can also enter the more accurate character taskmgr to get more accurate results.
Besides, this built-in program can also be opened in the run box. Type cmd in the search box to open the Command Prompt window. You can also run command prompt as administrator. In command prompt window, type taskmgr.
