Windows 11: Microsoft will soon be doing all kinds of things in the Task Manager

• The task manager of Windows 11 is getting a general overhaul.
• Microsoft will also enable color personalization in the future.
• Accordingly, the tool adapts to your chosen color scheme.

With the function update “Sun Valley 2” or “22H2” due in autumn, Windows 11 will receive a completely overhauled task manager. In addition to revised functions, the tool from Microsoft will also receive a cosmetic refresh.

Microsoft developers have offered a look at the new look of the important system tool on the official YouTube channel. Accordingly, in the future you can adjust the color accents for the utilization display of your PC according to your wishes.

More personalization in the system windows

The customization is done via a separate menu, which you will find in the “Colors” menu item under “Personalization”. If you have decided on an accent color there, the system utilization then appears more or less covered in the task manager, depending on how busy your processor or your RAM is at the moment.

If you use a preset color scheme or the “Dark Mode”, which is easy on the eyes, you don’t have to activate it for the task manager. If you don’t make your own settings, the tool will adapt to the current system settings in the future. This has not been possible until now.

The change will be part of the feature update, which is expected to be rolled out in waves starting in August and will initially appear for participants in the Insider program. A generally available release is expected in September.
