Windows 10 19H1 brings improvements in a wide variety of categories and it'll significantly refine the experience with both applications which are part of the operating system and with Windows overall.

Task Manager itself is improving too, though not in the substantial manner that users expected. It'd get subtle tweaks in some places, such as the choice to set the new default tab when launching the app, but there's without doubt that there's still room for improvements, especially as more users find it quite a must-have application.

When i see it, there are three features that I'd enjoy having in Task Manager, and even though there's little chance they'd be developed prior to the time the 19H1 update is finalized, Microsoft should at least ask them to in find for future updates.

"Dark theme"

First of all, it's the dark theme. Windows 10 itself comes with a dark mode, and Microsoft has been particularly centered on updating its applications to align with this new visual style of the operating-system.

Dark themes have been released for several applications in Windows 10, even though the OS itself has also received this facelift in Settings as well as in other key areas, Task Manager is yet to get such an overhaul.

A dark mode for Task Manager would basically seamlessly integrate the applying into the modern interface of Windows 10, and because many users consider it a must-have tool, it might also bring them an eagerly-awaited refresh.

Eventually, Microsoft will roll out a dark mode for Task Manager, there's no doubt about it, but as we learned the hard way, it might take longer than some are willing to wait.

"Search option and filters"

Because the Task Manager improves, it should will also get more complex functionality that's currently available in third-party tools like Process Explorer.

For example, searching option and filters would actually come in handy, especially when trying to quickly find a specific process.

You skill right now is click the listing of processes and then press the key on your keyboard that is representative of the very first letter in the name. However, it's not really a convenient workaround, so Microsoft should think about improving Task Manager in connection with this.

Also, a system tray indicator that would display information on a specific process would be also pretty helpful. At this time, Windows 10 does allow you to minimize Task Manager to tray, and hovering the icon shows information like CPU, memory, disk, and network usage.

"Notifications and alerts"

One of the things which i would consider very useful is support for alerts. With a few browsers, including Google Chrome, eating up a great deal of time, it is always good if Task Manager allowed us to set alerts whenever a specific threshold is reached.

Basically, Task Manager could issue a notification whenever a specific processor eats up a lot of resources, potentially reducing the system and finally impacting performance.

Overall, each one of these options would do nothing more than provide users with more treatments for their systems. Certainly, they aren't aimed at average users, but at those more knowledgeable who actually need such applications.

But with Microsoft trying to offer more solutions natively in Windows 10, it simply makes sense for the Task Manager to evolve in connection with this.

Windows 10 19H1 is projected to become finalized early in the year, so Microsoft doesn't cash time for you to begin testing such major additional features. Therefore the hope would be that the next OS feature update due within the fall of 2019 would come with further Task Manager improvements.
