Windows 11 Build 25211: NEW Task Manager option in the taskbar and more

In Windows 11, Microsoft has removed the Task Manager option from the taskbar context menu, making it a bit more difficult for users to access.

Although the operating system offers many different ways to access the Task Manager, perhaps the most common method has always been to right-click on the taskbar and select the "Task Manager" option. However, starting with Windows 11, the taskbar includes a new context menu that only offers the option to access the feature's settings page in the Settings app.

If you opened the experience only from the context menu, you can perform the same task from the Start button and Start menu, Control Panel, the Run command, or by using a keyboard shortcut.
