Two questions....

Hi,

I have 2 questions:

1. In Task Manager I sometimes need to click on an operation and kill or restart it. Most times the item skips around so fast and many times it is hard to catch it and right click. Is there an easier way then just chasing it like an 80's video game?

2. I use the built in Windows Remote Desktop. I specifically don't want Windows to remember my credentials. I must have clicked to remember them by accident. I can't figure out how to have Windows forget that password.

Anyone have answers to either issue?

Thanks!

1. You can click the gear icon in task manager and change the 'real time update speed' to low or paused
2. You can go into Control Panel > credential manager, the credentials will be saved there, find the cred click remove

Sounds like you are killing a process from the Processes page. If it is sorted by cpu activity things will jump around. Click on the heading of the Name column to sort alphabetically. The same applies if you are working from the Details page.

Two ways. Open RDP, there is an option on the 'connect' screen to delete credentials.

The other is to open Control Panel > Credentials Manager > Windows Credentials. The RDP credentials are the ones that have TERMSRV/ at the start of their name.

Not a direct answer but have seen Windows Remote Desktop will be going away, a Search about it finds this:

The Remote Desktop App and Remote Desktop Connection are two quite separate things. The App also supports using Azure virtual desktops, RDP is just for connecting to another PC. In fact, now that Microsoft Remote Desktop App is being retired the Store page for the app recommends you use Remote Desktop Connection for connecting to a PC instead. RDP isn't going anywhere, just the app.

While Task Manager is the active window, simply press and hold the CTRL key. That will stop Task Manager from updating so that stuff is not jumping around and you can then easily click on whatever item you need.

As for the RDP question, you can edit or delete creds by selecting that option right rom the initial RDP screen:
