Microsoft is testing a new hidden feature in the latest Windows 11 preview build that rejuvenates the user interface for Task Manager with a new design and modern appearance.
Task Manager is one of the most commonly used built-in Windows apps, allowing users to see how much a process uses CPU and memory, terminate processes, manage auto-starting programs, or simply see what programs are running on a computer.
Other than a few tweaks and small changes, the Windows Task Manager has remained relatively unchanged since Windows 10 was released.
Last week, Microsoft released Windows 11 preview build 22538 to the 'Developer' channel, and it includes a new hidden feature called 'TaskManagerRejuvenated' that introduces a revamped user interface for the Windows Task Manager.
While not filled with exciting new features, it is good to see Microsoft update older user interface elements with the new modern feel of Windows 11.
If you wish to test out the new Windows 11 Task Manager, you can join the Windows Insider programs and install the current Windows 11 build or later.
