Why each option
Task Manager provides a direct interface to view all running processes and terminate any selected process immediately.
Control Panel provides access to system settings and configuration applets but has no mechanism to view or kill running processes.
Computer Management contains administrative tools such as Disk Management and Event Viewer but does not provide a live process kill interface.
Task Manager (opened via Ctrl+Shift+Esc or Ctrl+Alt+Delete) displays all active processes with their CPU, memory, and other resource usage. The 'End Task' or 'End Process' option allows a user or technician to forcibly terminate any running process, including unresponsive applications or suspicious processes.
Add/Remove Programs (Programs and Features) manages installed application packages and cannot terminate actively running processes.
