Task Manager is weak.

Strong users use kill -9

    On windows 11, the task manager freezes as often as the programs do - and is absolutely useless when a program is frozen, it won't even try to open until the issue is resolved most of the time.

    Apart from the delay to harvest data from all the counters it scrapes, I don't know what you're talking about (to be fair, I stick to the old GUI that's far richer in information, I'm not sure what the newer reduced UI behaves like).

    I unplug my computer by yanking the power cable from the middle. You brave enough to insult my methods?

    Reminds me of the time I walked into my room and my computer, without asking me, was in the middle of updating from Windows 7 to Win10. I took my chances and unplugged it from the wall. Nothing bad happened, thankfully. Then I went in there and removed any notion of Windows Update I could find, short of removing the physical bits from my SSD lol
