What is Task Manager?

Task Manager helps you monitor and control the performance of your computer.

It provides the real-time monitoring of the computer processes, programs, and services running on your computer.

For instance, if you are using Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint, you will find it in the Task Manager along with the resources (memory) they are using.

It also shows you programs that have stopped responding. You can also close a program (force quit a program) that has stopped responding in the Task Manager.
