AppControl is the best replacement for Windows 11’s Task Manager I’ve yet to find, and since its February 2026 release, it’s been the go-to app on all my PCs.
When I originally covered AppControl a couple of months ago, I noted that it doesn’t just mimic Task Manager’s operations. Instead, it expands on them, offering features like event tracking that records, down to the second, your PC’s hardware usage, temperatures, and background app activity.
