Today’s featured tech tip….
How (and when) to ‘freeze’ the Windows Task Manager
Do you often have trouble viewing an entry in the task manager because of the changes taking place among all the open processes?
It can be quite a difficult task to concentrate on one specific process if it keeps moving around on you.
Well, there’s a very simple way to prevent that from happening…
Simply press and hold the Ctrl key and it will ‘freeze’ the entries in the task manager and keep them from changing and moving around on you.
When you’re finished inspecting the process you wanted to view just release the Ctrl key and everything will immediately revert back to normal.
