Ok, so i know that on OSX there is an option for "hot corners" which basically does a certain thing when you move your mouse to the corner. Ever since I moved to PC I fidn it rather difficult and more time consuming to use a computer without this function since windows doesn't have anything like that. So here is my question to all of you, do you know a program that essentially does the same on pc? it must be able to open task view as one of the choices. If not, is there a way to set a shortcut for task view to make my life so much easier?

*edit, I do know that win+tab gives opens task view,

It would actually be very easy to just write a little program that runs in the background which detects mouse position and then does anything you want when a certain location is detected.  But, knowing the Windows environment, I'm sure someone out there has already done that... many times :)

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

No, Windows + Tab.  Try it.  I said Task View not Task Switcher.

you view all tasks in alt+tab and windows+tab does nothing for me

Are you using Windows 10?  Because if you're not, that's why.  Task view looks like this:
