What is Task Manager

A task manager, also known as a task scheduler or job scheduler, is a software utility that is part of the operating system. It manages tasks by organizing and executing them based on a defined schedule or other parameters. This ensures that certain processes are completed in a timely manner and helps prevent computer crashes due to resource constraints.

For example, Windows Task Scheduler allows users to create and schedule automated tasks. Task Manager can be used to view and manage processes and applications that are running on the system.

Some common features of task managers include:

*Creating, editing, and deleting tasks
*Setting task schedules and triggers
*Monitoring task history and performance
*Viewing and managing currently running tasks
*Running tasks on demand or when the computer starts up

Here’s a simple example of how you might create a task using the Windows Task Scheduler:

*Click to launch the Task Scheduler Window through the right procedural format
*Click “Create Task” in the right-hand pane.
*Fill in the required name in the “Name” field.
*Go to the “Triggers” tab and set up the schedule for when the task should run.
*Go to the “Actions” tab and select the action you want the task to perform.
*Configure any necessary settings in the “Conditions” and “Settings” tabs.
*Click “OK” to save the task.

The task manager can be an essential tool for managing computer processes, optimizing system performance, and ensuring that tasks are completed in a timely manner.
