To open the Task Manager on a Chromebook, you have two main methods: 1. Keyboard Shortcut:
- Press the Search key (which looks like a magnifying glass) and the Esc key simultaneously. This will immediately open the Task Manager window, showing all running processes and their resource usage (CPU, memory, network)
2. Through the Chrome Browser:
- Open the Chrome browser.
- Click the three vertical dots in the top-right corner to open the menu.
- Hover over More tools.
- Click Task Manager from the submenu. This opens the Task Manager in a new window where you can view and manage running processes
The Task Manager on a Chromebook allows you to monitor active processes and end any that are unresponsive or consuming excessive resources by selecting them and clicking "End process." You can also sort processes by resource usage or alphabetically and view additional parameters by clicking on the column headers
. These methods provide quick and easy access to managing your Chromebookâs performance and troubleshooting issues with apps or extensions. In summary, the fastest way is pressing Search + Esc keys together, but you can also access it through the Chrome browser menu
