If you want to see more details, click the "Details" button in the lower-left corner of the WIN8 Task Manager panel. The WIN8 Task Manager details mode provides seven tabs for process, performance, application history, startup, users, details, services, and more detailed system information. The older version of Windows Task Manager has only six options for applications, processes, services, performance, networking, users, and so on.

The "process" of WIN8 task management actually combines the contents of the two tabs of older applications and processes, where we can view both the application in use and the background process, as well as visually see the CPU, memory, disk, network, and other system resources occupied. When there is no response to the program or the resource is too high, the new Win8 Task Manager will give a red eye-catching logo.

Complex process names are often inscrutable to ordinary users, and the WIN8 Task Manager adds "online Search" to the right-click menu, and if the user wants to learn more about which process, click on this option to go to IE to search for the relevant details.
