FastTask 1.1.0 — a fast, native Win32 task manager for Windows, written in Rust. A single self-contained ~400 KB executable: no Electron, no .NET, no runtime.

What's new in 1.1.0

  • Register Ctrl+Shift+Esc from inside the app — a new toolbar button registers (or unregisters) FastTask as your default Task Manager, so Ctrl+Shift+Esc, the Ctrl+Alt+Del menu, and the taskbar right-click all open FastTask. It self-elevates via UAC — no PowerShell required. The button toggles between Register Ctrl+Shift+Esc and Unregister Hotkey to reflect the current state.
  • The bundled install-taskmgr-replace.ps1 / uninstall-taskmgr-replace.ps1 scripts are now location-independent (they resolve FastTask.exe next to themselves).

Download

  • SetupFastTask-Setup-1.1.0.exe: installs to Program Files with Start Menu (and optional desktop) shortcuts and an uninstaller.
  • PortableFastTask-portable-1.1.0.zip: unzip and run FastTask.exe, nothing touches the registry.

Highlights (carried over from 1.0)

  • Flicker-free virtual process list that keeps your scroll position on every refresh
  • Search by process name or PID
  • Sortable columns, live per-process CPU %, memory and thread counts
  • End Task with confirmation
  • Modern Explorer-themed UI with an embedded app icon
  • Manifest, icon and version info embedded directly in the binary

Built for x64 Windows.
