How to open the task manager on a windows remote desktop session

Filed under: Windows — techteam @ 1:19 am

Ctrl + Alt + delete on local session will give you the option to open the task manager, but what about if you are remoting into another server.

Ctrl + Shift + Esc did the trick for me

  2. If you want to bring up the shut-down dialog on the remote machine you can always use the old go-to command Alt+F4

  4. I am using Ctrl + Alt + End on a remote desktop and that is the same as Ctrl + Alt + delete on a local desktop.
