Accessing the Task Manager, Quick Link menu, and Control-Alt-Delete

- [Instructor] In this movie I want to talk…about some controls that you may need…for simple troubleshooting in Windows.…These are options that might be hard to find…if you don't know where to look,…but may be valuable to you someday.…First I want to talk about Control + Alt + Delete.…As long as Windows has existed,…this keyboard combination has been essential.…All you need to do is hold the Control and Alt keys,…and then tap the Delete key on your keyboard,…and it'll take you to this screen.…From here you can get a bunch of essential…system options, like signing out of your account,…or locking the computer.…

But the most important is certainly the Task Manager,…so I'm going to click on that.…The Task Manager shows you a list…of every application that's currently running,…and that's why I wanted to start this movie…with a bunch of applications open.…If for some reason an application has frozen…and you cannot make it quit,…that's when you would go to the Task Manager.…From here you can select any application…that's currently running, then you can hit End task…
