Windows 11 New Task Manager

Microsoft is working on a new Task Manager for Windows 11. It’s still hidden in the latest build, so officially it’s not available yet.

However, Rafael Rivera came up with a way to activate the new Task Manager, so you can see it in action for yourself. The Windows 11 build number used here is 22538.
