Did you know if you hold CTRL in Task Manager, it will pause real time updates? 👀

That means the processes on the Processes or Details page don't move around if you're sorted by something like CPU or Memory and it's easier to select the one that you're trying to click

@JenMsft Does this work when selecting a process using the keyboard?

@BTyson I just tried on my PC and I was able to arrow up and down through the list while holding CTRL and the sort order of the list didn't change until I released CTRL

@JenMsft If I use this method to navigate the list of processes so that it doesn't refresh, do I have to hit space to cause that item to be selected, or does it still select it when I use control with the arrow keys?

@BTyson For me just arrow alone made it selected, but I didn't try with a screenreader to see if it was the same. I could try later if you want - I'm heading out for a bit
