If you’re using a Mac and need to access the task manager, you may be wondering where to find it. Unlike on a Windows computer, the task manager on a Mac is called the activity monitor. In this guide, we’ll show you two ways to open the task manager on your Mac.
The first and easiest way to open the activity monitor is by using Spotlight. To access Spotlight, click on the magnifying glass icon in the top right corner of your screen. Once Spotlight is open, type in “activity monitor” and click on the activity monitor app that appears. This will open the activity monitor, which is essentially the task manager for your Mac.
Once you have the activity monitor open, you’ll be able to see information about your computer’s processes, applications, and resource usage. You can see your CPU usage, memory usage, energy usage, disk usage, network usage, and more. You can also use the activity monitor to monitor and quit applications, just like you would in a typical task manager on a Windows computer.
If you prefer to access the activity monitor through Finder, you can do so by clicking on the Finder icon in your dock. From there, click on the Applications folder and look for the Utilities folder. Inside the Utilities folder, you’ll find the activity monitor app. Double-click on it to open the activity monitor.
In summary, there are two easy ways to open the task manager on your Mac. You can use Spotlight to quickly find and open the activity monitor, or you can navigate to it through Finder by opening the Utilities folder. Once you have the activity monitor open, you’ll be able to monitor and manage your computer’s processes and resource usage.
