The Event Viewer, the Device Manager, the Disk Management, and even the Task Manager itself, are all utilities that have been in Windows for decades, and no matter how &#8220;modernized and redesigned&#8221; the new Windows 11 or even the already &#8220;old&#8221; Windows 10, they stay the same. <\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 5 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-asset-image article-asset-large\">\n<div class=\"asset-content\">\n<div class=\"caption-img \">\n<div class=\"base-wrapper-image\" style=\"padding-top:42.1875%;\">\n             <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sf-lazy centro_sinmarco\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.blogs.es\/ccf1dc\/windows-11-redisenado-si-si\/450_1000.jpg 450w, https:\/\/i.blogs.es\/ccf1dc\/windows-11-redisenado-si-si\/650_1200.jpg 681w,https:\/\/i.blogs.es\/ccf1dc\/windows-11-redisenado-si-si\/1024_2000.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/i.blogs.es\/ccf1dc\/windows-11-redisenado-si-si\/1366_2000.jpg 1366w,\" src=\"https:\/\/i.blogs.es\/ccf1dc\/windows-11-redisenado-si-si\/450_1000.jpg\" alt=\"Windows 11 Redesigned Yes Yes\" title=\"\"><br \/>\n  <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Windows 11 Redesigned Yes Yes\" class=\"centro_sinmarco\" src=\"https:\/\/i.blogs.es\/ccf1dc\/windows-11-redisenado-si-si\/450_1000.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/noscript><\/p><\/div>\n<p>         <span>The new old design of tools in Windows 11<\/span>\n   <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This menu is very useful because many of these tools are part of the Control Panel and since Microsoft has been moving so many things from there to Settings (but not all, obviously), <strong>finding them is sometimes more complicated than it should be<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 6 --><\/p>\n<p>With a Win + X they appear at hand quickly.  The <strong>Device administrator<\/strong> it comes in handy when a controller acts weird or stops working.  The <strong>Disk manager<\/strong> It is Windows&#8217; own tool to manage our partitions and it is also quite useful to see the status of our disks.

And, the Task Manager never lacks good things to say, although it has its own shortcut (CTRL + SHIFT + ESC). <\/p>\n<p>You may already know this menu or \/ and shortcut, or you may not.  Windows has so much old stuff mixed in with new stuff, that it still lets you close windows like 35 years ago even though no one uses the feature, and fewer people know it&#8217;s there.  What may seem obvious to some may be a discovery for others today.  I&#8217;m sure that for a few, this menu will be one of those last. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there is something left over in Windows to carry out all kinds of activities, it is keyboard shortcuts.
