When you right-click the taskbar in Windows 11, you may find that the Task Manager option is missing from the context menu. If you want to restore this reduced functionality, here’s a simple method to add the Task Manager option back to taskbar context menu in Windows 11.

How to Add the Task Manager option to Taskbar Context Menu in Windows 11

1. Open Registry Editor and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FeatureManagement\Overrides\4. Right-click the 4 key in the left sidebar and select New -> Key.

   

2. Name the new key as 1887869580, then select it. In the right pane, right-click the empty area and choose New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value.
