Explanation

Process management is the OS function responsible for creating, scheduling, prioritizing, and terminating processes. The OS uses a scheduler within the process manager to allocate CPU time, memory, and other resources among competing processes - giving higher priority to critical tasks as needed. Application management handles software installation and updates. Access management controls user permissions and authentication. Device management handles communication between the OS and hardware peripherals. Only process management directly governs how and when programs receive system resources.
