Windows 10: Windows 10 Task Manager will get three new features

Task Manager is one of the apps that consumers use on a daily basis and it provides us with essential information of the system including CPU, GPU, Disk, and as well as Network usage.

Like Windows 10, the built-in Task Manager is evolving too and it’s getting new features in the next major feature update.

According to a report, Microsoft is planning to add a new Architecture column to the Task Manager. Architecture column will display the architecture of process such as x86, x64 or Arm32. A similar functionality already exists on the Details tab (Platform) column, but it’s limited to 64-bit and 32-bit.

It’s not clear when the tech giant will update the Task Manager to include Architecture column, but it’s likely to happen in the second half of 2020.

Disk type in Task Manager




Windows 10 version 2004 (Spring 2020) comes with the addition of disk type in the Task Manager Performance tab. This allows users to quickly identify the disk types – HDDs, SSDs and other disk types.

The disk type is listed under the disk section of the performance tab.

GPU temperature


Microsoft is finally adding GPU (graphics card) temperature monitoring support to the Task Manager. If you have a dedicated GPU card and graphics driver is updated, Task Manager can now bubble up the current temperature of the GPU card.



The GPU temperature in Task Manager is currently only supported if you have dedicated GPU card, but support for the integrated graphics could be added in future.

The updated graphics driver should support version 2.4+ of WDDM. You can check the version of WDDM under ‘Display’ tab in DirectX Diagnostic Tool. The WDDM version is listed next to the Driver model.

Task Manager currently displays the temperature value in Celsius and the option is also included in Windows 10 version 2004 (20H1).

Microsoft is expected to begin shipping the Windows 10 version 2004 (20H1) update to consumers in April or May. The other features of the major update include Cloud Recovery, new Cortana experience, revamped Optional Updates experience and more.

Windows 10 - cannot add exec to Startup in Task Manager

I purchased a new computer with Windows 10 already installed. I am trying to add an exec to the startup list but Win10 will not accept it. The exec runs successfully on my Windows 10 machine if I start it manually.

Steps I've taken: Task Manager, Startup Tab, File>Run New Task. (browse to location, select.) It will start immediately, but does not show up on the list to autostart, nor does it start on reboot.

Any suggestions?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 Task Manager to Get GPU Utilization Tab

Microsoft is working on an update to Windows 10, which among several other things, adds a GPU utilization tab to Task Manager. You will be able to monitor each individual GPU in your machine, and Task Manager will give you live utilization stats for the GPU's 3D load, Video hardware-acceleration (encode/decode) load, dedicated memory usage, shared memory usage, and basic driver information such as driver version and date. For now the update is part of Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16226; and will make it to the main-release in the coming months.
