In terms of operating systems, a task manager is a program which is designed to provide details about the processes and applications running on a computer, along with that it also provides the general status of the computer.
In MAC, a Task Manager is known as an activity monitor, which also does similar things.
In the past, Microsoft had named the task manager “Microsoft Windows Task Manager”.
If we talk about the Task, then a task can be an application, a Windows process, or a background process.
Under the task manager, you can find the details like the system’s CPU, memory, disk, network, graphics processing unit (GPU) resources, etc.
If you are the administrator of your device then by using the Task Manager you can also kill (terminate) the application and processes, as well as can also adjust processing priorities to boost the computer performance.
