Windows 10: Mysterious shortcut opened Task Manager focused on active window

I stumbled upon an unusual shortcut on Windows that directly opened Task Manager focused on the process of my active window. I'm certain it started with Shift + Windows Key + ... but can't recall the complete combination. There was something wrong with my keyboard (like some function key being active?), but I could see that when I pressed that specific combination of Opera browser, all the opens tabs and the designated resources were there. Has anyone else experienced this or knows the full shortcut?

ad blocker doesnt run for my website shortcuts

first off, im using IE11, yes I know boo hiss its the devil, its too unsafe, but anyway....

I have adblocker and I cant find any reports on this issue but if I open the browser with the browser link adblock runs and its protected, but lets say I have a desktop shortcut to go to my email or here, well when you use a desktop shortcut to the websites, the browser opens without adblock running. I confirmed this in task manager that it is indeed still off and not a running process. I also noted that adblock is not listed in the services list but im not sure if it should be or not.

so any help or advice on this would be great, I use desktop shortcuts for stuff and this means adblocker isn't running for nearly half of my online activities, maybe more. if it cant run anytime the browser is open then why have it, I see nothing in the way of settings or preferences options except a website block list or allow ads for this site.

 

Open Task Manager in Windows 10


Denis,

You could create a Task Manager shortcut, then set the shortcut to "Run" "Minimized" like below. When you open the shortcut, it'll open Task Manager minimized by default.

 

Device Manager shortcut

Why not create a shortcut as @Farvatten suggested and drag it to the task bar. Then it's a one click open.
