In the Windows 8 system, the Task Manager has also changed a lot, compared to Win7, more humane and intelligent, and in the interface operation and function settings, have a very big change.

Compared to previous Windows 98, Windows XP, to the Win7 system, Task Manager has a lot of option parameters, in addition to the basic process, you can view all processes, as well as join the Resource monitor and so on. But this information, not generally small white users can understand. The most used is just the end of the task, but also limited to identifiable, such as the Chinese name, or QQ, such as easy to identify.

In the process, so many English names and service processes are mixed together, it is not easy to know the attributes of each process. But fortunately Win7 's task Manager is also very intelligent and powerful, and the monitoring of resources, are also very intuitive.

Windows 8 Task Manager-More information

Above we see the WIN8 system's resource manager is very concise, and is divided into "brief information" and "Detailed information" two interface, in terms of appearance seems to have a lot of beauty.

In the Compact Task Manager, there is no complicated function tag, only the currently running program, through the right mouse button to operate the end of the task, open the file location and online search and other basic functions. But for most users, if the program is stuck and the system doesn't respond, the end of the task can be achieved in a simplified version. Next, let's talk about the WIN8 Task Manager details panel.

At the bottom left of the task manager's simplified version, we expand the "details" switch to a more powerful full version. There will be more powerful task managers: processes, performance, users, services, and a number of newly added feature panels.

Introduction to the features of Windows 8 task Manager

Processes: Grouping of programs and new ways of naming

Win8 Task Manager groups running programs, such as applications, background processes, and Windows processes, it is easier to quickly determine the properties of the program.

In addition, we are in this task manager, almost all the running program name is easy to identify, no longer like a lot of English basic read, and can not immediately determine whether the end. and detailed service process, we click on the left side of the name of the small triangle to expand, you can view the current full process.

Of course, there are some processes that we may still not understand and do not know what they mean. In the name of the process you want to know, the right mouse button pop-up menu, click "Online Search", will automatically open the default browser to search the current name, to help you determine whether a background process is useful.

Human resource occupancy heat warning interface

In "process", in addition to the name of the change, here's the CPU, memory, disk, the network under a number of tags in the content, but also used to identify the color block, here means the depth of the color through the visual embodiment of resource occupancy ratio, reducing the monotony of the digital stack, looks very comfortable and clear.

The deeper the color, the greater the resource footprint.

To put it simply, lighter colors indicate less resource usage, and the darker the color, the greater the resource footprint, that is, when there is an exception to a program that causes some overload in the system, Task Manager alerts the user through the red line (the color increases with overload). When overload is particularly severe, the reminder color changes to a large red, allowing users to quickly spot the problem. In this process, we can also use the title bar to perform a sort of load process to find other pitfalls more quickly. This kind of detail interface's graph can let the person glance, can say is in the humanity aspect a big promotion.

Support Metro Applications

In addition to the traditional desktop programs, the new Task Manager also supports Metro applications, as shown below.

That is, if we open a number of programs on the Start screen, you can also manually end the process on Task Manager. But actually the programs in the Windows 8 system that start the interface do not work like desktop programs, and when you open many desktop programs, these programs will always occupy the process resources. But these programs in Metro, when it comes to another metro application, are already being lowered, leaving enough resources for the current application in use.

Performance: Resource Occupancy view very detailed

Click on the "Performance" tab, where you can see the CPU, memory, hard disk, network, and so on, and show the current status in the way of the graph.

Performance

The performance tag is also available in Windows 7 systems, but it looks more beautiful in Win8 and has very detailed parameters. Let's look at the performance in Windows 7 System Task Manager.

Apply History

This is also a new option, under the "Application History" tab can be seen in the Metro application of the Resource Usage summary records, such as CPU usage time, traffic consumption and magnetic paste update consumption of the flow of information, you can also remove the use of these applications data restart calculation. Large consumption also has an obvious color display.

Startup: Setting up the boot file

Start

Startup is also a new option for WIN8 Task Manager, which is simple to turn on or disable programs that start when you boot up. Simply put, when we boot up, the system will load a lot of startup items, such as anti-virus software, Office services, network synchronization, such as the random start of the program, although it is convenient for us to run, but also affect the speed of the system to start.

See here, believe some friends have thought, this is not "system configuration" in the function? In the "Run" Input msconfig command, in the "start", can not be set? Prior to this, but in the Windows 8 system, this functionality has been transferred to the Task Manager.

The boot in the system configuration no longer exists!

The menu that pops up through the right mouse button can be set to disable/enable, or "search online" If you don't know some of the processes.

Conclusion:

Windows 8 Task Manager has a lot of new features, and the interface design is also very beautiful, the management of the process is also easy, especially for white, a lot of not understand the process, only need to use "online search" to be able to query the relevant knowledge. The "Start" integration is also more convenient for add-on settings, compared to previous system configuration, easier to operate. Win8 Task Manager Humanization of the greatest performance is the resource situation of the color block depth identification and naming methods, I believe some novice can also be simpler to operate.

In addition, the "Users, details, services" tab in Windows 8 System Manager, because most users use less, here is no longer to repeat, interested friends can experience themselves.
