The "Task Manager" was introduced with Windows NT 4.0. Previous versions of windows had a program that was just called "task" or "task list". So, if you are looking specifically for "Task Manager", the answer is Windows NT 4.0.
To display the screen from which you can select Windows Task Manager, you can use the keystroke combination Ctrl + Shift + Esc. This key combination directly opens the Task Manager without needing to go through the Ctrl + Alt + Delete menu. The Task Manager is a powerful tool in Windows that allows you to monitor and manage running applications, processes, and performance metrics.
