Process Name For Win+Tab?  

Hi,

My Win+Tab is buggy (actually the interface is invisible). Do you know the process name so I can relaunch it via Task Manager instead of rebooting my whole session?

Windows 10 version: 1903

This batch script adds task view to Desktop context menu.

Code:

::  Add Task View Context Menu in Windows 10

@Echo Off

net sess>nul 2>&1||(powershell start cmd -ArgumentList """/c %~0""" -verb Runas & exit)

:_Start
Cls & Mode CON  LINES=11 COLS=70 & Color 0E 
Echo.

:_Ex

:_Disbale

Reg.exe delete "HKCR\Directory\Background\shell\TaskView" /f

pretty much all the Win key shortcuts like Win+tab and Win+R (run) are part of explorer.exe.

Welcome to Ten Forums hb1290. Yes, that's completely correct. You can see this for yourself if you find the Windows Explorer background task in Task Manager, set Task Manager to be 'Always on top' then press WinKey+Tab. You'll see the Windows Explorer process briefly peak at around 10-15% CPU.

Try restarting Explorer from Task Manager next time it gets 'buggy'.
