Windows task manager now is total crap. It does nothing to distinguish official (OS) services from app services, and does not enable easy app moderation at all. At this point we should be able to right click apps and processes directly in task manager to get a description on what they do and whether they are safe, rather than having to google their names and get info from shoddy and poorly written 3rd party pop-up and ad-laced "tech guru" sites.
The future so far has underwhelmed me software-wise honestly.
I still remember messing with Sysinternals decades ago. It was inspiring seeing what it opened up.
And I get the tradeoff between that and the Apple HIG. I really do.
But Microsoft still has that ecosystem behind them. It's frustrating downloading a game on Steam or an app only to have it just not run in your primary OS.
Luckily this is not the case when it comes to Linux. It just keeps getting better by the year.
it can be disabled via a registry key, but still annoying

(I only noticed it because I saw it in resource monitor one day)
(side note, win ui is also very clunky and you can easily identify all the generations of OSs since XP by using just the right click menu and the settings windows. Tells something about attention to details, you clearly see a pm in a subteam with a concept, rather than a consistent overall experience )
