This tutorial will show you how to add or remove columns for details in Task Manager for your account in Windows 11.

Task Manager can be used to view and manage your processes, performance statistics, app history, startup apps, users, process details, and services in Windows 11.

Starting with Windows 11 build 22557, Microsoft has updated the design of Task Manager to match the new Windows 11 design principles. This includes a new hamburger style navigation bar and a new settings page. A new command bar on each page gives access to common actions. The dark theme has now been brought to Task manager and will automatically match the system-wide theme configured in the Settings app.

If you like, you can add or remove columns for details in the Processes, App history, Startup apps, Users, and Details pages in Task Manager.

You can drag and drop columns to any order you want in Task Manager.
