Windows 8 Build 7850: How to unlock the Modern Task Manager
« on: April 20, 2011, 11:06:10 AM »
The new Task Manager shows detailed information about running processes, services and system resources.
It's a little bit buggy atm which is obvious as the leaked build is just a milestone build.
As compared to Windows 7 there is change in UI and there are less tabs.
We already know as it is the newly build and its features can add up or even removed until its final launch.
Besides clicking “End Task” for “Not responding” programs in Windows 7, Windows 8 provides to close directly with ‘cross’ icon/option next to running programs.
Modern Task manager now comprises of “Windows System-Critical Programs”, “Background Programs” and “Applications”.
Its really impressive to see such kind of improvements and new interesting features addition in Windows 8.

1] Go to "Start" menu, and search "regedit.exe";
2] Go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\TaskUI" and create a new key called "TaskUIEnabled": set the value as "1";
3] Go to "Start" menu, and search "taskui.exe"
4] Enjoy!
