A Windows program is frozen and unresponsive. Which listed shortcut opens access to Task Manager or the Windows security screen?
Answer
Ctrl+Alt+Delete
Explanation
### Why this is right
The material identifies Ctrl+Alt+Delete as the Windows shortcut that opens a screen with access to Task Manager. Task Manager can close an unresponsive program using End task.
### The concept
Task Manager lists programs currently in use and can stop unresponsive programs or background tasks. This is different from a normal close command when an application has stopped responding.
### The other options
- **B. Ctrl+F**: opens search tools in most programs.
- **C. Ctrl+S**: saves a file.
- **D. Alt+F4**: closes a window, but is not the listed shortcut to access Task Manager.
### Terms
- **Task Manager**: a Windows utility that displays running programs and can end tasks.
### Remember
Use Ctrl+Alt+Delete to reach Windows Task Manager options.
