Task Manager, previously known as Windows Task Manager, is a task manager and startup manager to start and stop services, and forcibly terminate running processes. Further more, it is also a system monitor to provide information about computer performance and running software.

Anyway, it is very practical and important for most users even though it is gradually removed or hidden from Windows 11.

If you use Task Manager frequently like most users do, you can keep it always on top of other open windows. In this way, you can always keep your eye on your PC's performance and see if anything amiss is going on.
