News JVTech Windows 11 and Video Games: Gamers will love the next update
What if CTRL + ALT + DEL command disappeared from Windows 11? One thing is certain: The new build of the operating system clearly indicates that Microsoft wants to make it a secondary function. You can now get a preview.
To stop unresponsive software, Windows users – especially gamers – generally have a well-known reflex : pressing simultaneously on CTRL + ALT + SUPPR to bring up the task manager. Through this menu it is possible to close stubborn software.
But that could change in the future. In fact, Windows 11 includes build 25300, which is currently available on the Windows Insider developer channel quite an interesting hidden feature.
Microsoft wants to make it easier to close processes
It was a Twitter user named PhantomOcean3 who put his finger on this feature, which must be activated for it to appear in practice. This manipulation suggests that the proposal is still in development at Microsoftwho doesn’t want to make it more public. Damage !
You will soon be able to quickly end an entire task/process by right-clicking it on the taskbar and selecting a new Task Manager-style End Task option. New in build 25300 and hidden.

Once the feature is activated, It provides access to an end-of-task option that appears when you right-click on open software and appears in the taskbar
A simpler approach to “task completion”
When Microsoft confirms the arrival of this feature on Windows 11, that could make life easier for many users who are not necessarily tech-savvy. Because sometimes we tend to forget it when we are long familiar with an interface like Windows, but Manipulations based on CTRL + ALT + DEL are not obvious to everyone.
We can assume that the first thing many people do is dive into the taskbar options to close blocked software. As a result, Microsoft’s approach speaks to greater accessibility.
Does this mean CTRL+ALT+DEL is just a memory? Certainly not: In the event that the blocked software does not allow returning to the desktop to enable this feature from the taskbar, an alternative would still be needed. This can happen in particular when a PC game crashes while playing, completely blocking the return to the office. So if you’re a fan of three buttons pressed at once, you should be able to keep using them without any problems.
If you are curious and have the new developer build of Windows 11 installed on your computeryou can use the ViVe tool to activate hidden functions. To do this, run this command: vivetool /enable /id:42592269. The new option will then appear in the taskbar menu, but remember that it is not active at the moment. Unless Microsoft decides to do a U-turn, we can expect the order to become official in the next few months.
