Task Manager not having a modern filter/search for the gigantic list isn’t only an annoyance and a productivity killer but also a security issue.

If I suspect a nefarious app is running in the background somewhere I have to manually read the list to find it and kill it.

End of the day one of two things is happening, either no one influential at MS uses Windows or their structure is so broken that pointing out something like this it isn’t even possible to action the feature to be built.

There seems to be something really wrong with task manager.

In Win 11 22h2, if you start it as a regular user, you get the new interface. If you run it as administrator, you get the old one.

It also somehow manages to often maximize behind the taskbar. Or cut the output on the righ-hand side of the info in the performance / memory pane.

tasklist | findstr "malicious.exe"

or

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq malicious.exe"

This and the other comment are non-answers.

The fact that another obscure application (at least obscure to most people) can do this does not mean it is ok for task manager not to have this very basic feature.
