This is rather strange because experimental features are usually introduced to the Dev Channel. Microsoft had enabled the feature in Build 22000.1163 that was released to the Release Preview channel that was released a few days ago, before it brought it to Build 22623.870 in the Beta channel today. Anyone who has it likely used a workaround to add the feature manually. So this could be the reason why the Task Manager shortcut was not enabled for me, it has not been rolled out to users yet. The release notes for KB5019509 does not list the shortcut among the changes that it brought.

But I couldn't find the shortcut in Windows 11 22H2.Ī Tweet from WindowsUpdate, and the announcement article for the update on Microsoft's blog ( footnote 1) both mention that some of the features are coming soon to Windows 11. You may remember that I had tested the option in my virtual machine when Windows 11 Build 25211 was released last month to the Dev Channel. They were referring to the Task Manager shortcut in the Taskbar's context menu. I came across a few posts that claimed that a new way to access the shortcut was available in Windows 11 22H2.
