      True, but whenever Windows is having a mini-meltdown the NMI from the three finger salute is often enough to jar it out of its fixation. Plus my computer has learnt that if I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del 30 times the next time is the big red switch.

        The direct shortcut for opening task manager actually also had special handling for problematic situations. This includes low memory and high CPU.

        I’ve had situations where the direct shortcut worked, but ctrl-alt-delete didn’t. Never had the opposite.
