shamu726 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Some users are extremely pissed off with new “modern” task manager in Windows 8. Although some of its functions are not bad, like the “command line” column in the task list or performance graph, I don’t really need them. The old Task Manager provides a more consistent way of task management for me, it is familiar and the new one does not even remember the last active tab. So I am definitely one of those who want the good old, more usable Task Manager back in Windows 8. Let me show you how to do that with a few simple steps.Download the following ZIP file (containing classic Task Manager files from Windows 8′s boot.wim) and unpack the TM folder into the root of your system drive. You should get the following: 2. Open System Properties and check which version of Windows 8 you are running – x86 and x64. Mine is x64:3. Double-click on the appropriate reg file . e.g. click on install_x64.reg file if you have Windows 8 x64 like me, otherwise click on the install_x86.reg file.4. That’s it! You don’t need to reboot, you don’t to do anything else. Just press the Ctrl+Shift+Esc keys on your keyboard and enjoy the return of your good old friend:Note: Import the UNINSTALL_x86_or_x64.reg file to restore the “new” Task Manager of Windows 8 back.Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
