[SOLVED] how to get the NEW task manager on windows 9 (8.1 embedded)

[Kev1]

Hi,

 

Like a lot of people i liked windows 7 UI, but i wanted to have the under the hood improvement of windows 8.1. So i installed windows 9 (8.1 embedded industry pro) from linus's video https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/748493-windows-9/

 

 

However I do like the new task manager of windows 8.1 much more than the old on windows 7 and i have tried lot's of thing to try to get it back. Is there some people that have insight that can help me get windows 8.1 task manager?

Yeah I've gotten used to the Win 8 style task manager and have reverted it for myself. 

 

Its just a simple registry key,

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\taskmgr.exe

 

Just delete the contents of the String Value Debugger
