   There were several new features that were supposed to be in the Win11 22H2 update that didn't make it in time for the 22H2 general release. Today's update includes several of those features, but, they'll be turned on over time. kb5019509 is a little short of 250MB.

   The Task Mgr. link or shortcut you get right-clicking the Task Bar is one of the Win10 features missing in Win11. I assume millions of people went nuts -- I know I did -- because that's one of those muscle memory things, like mousing to the lower left for the Start Button. Well, 22H2 brought it back, But, you have to manually enable it yourself. Neowin describes how:

   neowin[.]net/guides/how-to-enable-right-click-to-open-task-manager-in-windows-11-moment-1-update/

   Here's a simpler, easier, faster way... copy the following [between the dash lines], paste it in a new text file in Notepad, save, then rename the file [Some Name You Like].reg. Double click that new .reg file to add it to the registry, & the Task Bar Task Mgr. link will be active after a restart.

   ---------------

   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\4\1887869580]
   "EnabledState"=dword:00000002
   "EnabledStateOptions"=dword:00000000

   My MS W11 64 Home with 22H2, version 22621.675, already has this. Without the registry tweak.
   As I have Pro Lasso always running, I very seldom use the Task Bar.
   My last update is KB5019509.

   Thanks! CCleaner got hung yesterday on my Win11 laptop. Fortunately, it finally broke free just after I found I could not shut it down with the task manager.

   I put in the "fix" a couple of hours ago and it worked great! I now have 2 options when I right-click on the taskbar - task manager and taskbar settings.

   I'm very happy and I thank you very very much, Mikiem2.
