Ctrl-alt-del is meant to be a hard interrupt to the system.

Ctrl-shift-esc treats it like another task.

Interesting so that's why system performance gets wonky when task Manager is opened with CTRL+alt+Del

I'll keep that in mind when I wanna kill tasks but not disrupt performance

I assume this terminology originally referred to an actual interrupt handled by a kernel interrupt handler, and half of the people in this thread have no idea what that means.

That's so dumb, but okay.

Edit: dumb that using the shortcut to open the task manager doesn't interrupt the system. That's what ctrl-alt-del did before windows 8 or whenever, open the task manager regardless of what was happening. Now I have to use that annoying lock-screen menu to open the task manager to kill processes if things are locked up. Didn't know that, horribly unintuitive

how is it dumb? literally just press ctrl shift esc

If your computer is locked up, you have to use ctrl-alt-del, with its menu of options including the task manager, in order to interrupt the current processes locking up the system.

Using ctrl-shift-esc launches the task manager program without a system interrupt, meaning it won't unlock the computer. Which is dumb, because why else would I be opening the task manager other than to interrupt some out-of-control process? I guess you could be using it to monitor or something else, but that's what I'm used to opening the task manager to be doing. I didn't even realize this until this comment.

Yeah, I use task manager way more often for monitoring than I use it for stopping processes.

When i was using windows i killed programs quite regularly with ctrl shift esc. I didn't need a full system interrupt but the programs weren't completely out if control.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I check ram and cpu usage and change startup apps or task priority just as much as I need to force quit.

then just press ctrl alt del if you want a system interrupt??? there's a reason they have bindings for both. it's not much harder, the task manager doesn't exist solely for killing some program that won't respond.
