Windows 11 includes a new Task Manager application that looks very different from the one seen on older versions of Windows. The task manager has rounded corners, a new design layout, and more. Also, Microsoft introduced a few new customization options with the Task Manager. When you launch the Task Manager, you will see the Processes page by default. The processes page displays all apps running in the background and the number of resources they consume. On Windows 11, you can change the start page of Task Manager to show any other option.
