Do you want access to all the programs that remain open or active on your computer at any given time, but the options that the Windows people offer by default do not convince you? Luckily, you have to know that some services have been developed to significantly improve our experience in these cases. Among them, ALT-Tab Terminator is one of the most complete.

ALT-Tab Terminator is nothing more than a platform that was thought to replace the default functions that Windows offers with Alt-Tab and Windows-Tab, considering that these are sometimes somewhat outdated. And best of all, we are in the presence of software that is fully compatible with all versions of Microsoft's operating system, both 32-bit and 64-bit.

How it works

Once you have opened ALT-Tab Terminator on your computer, this tool will show you in just a second, and in the form of a list, which programs are running at that moment, so you can manage them as you prefer. Some of the functions available from the initial list involve ending tasks, closing programs, or simply checking that they are active.

What we liked about ALT-Tab Terminator is that it has several keyboard shortcuts that are efficient in this situation, thanks to which we can save a lot of time when deciding what to do with each program. These keyboard shortcuts, which you can modify when you consider necessary, have a predefined configuration in which F4, for example, closes the programs you are using.

In the same way, another feature we have found that gives it a particular advantage over other similar applications is that it allows you to reopen a program we already have running. For example, if you have a Word document open but for some reason you need another one, you will be able to do it from this manager without having to search for the Office office suite and then select the word processor.

ALT-Tab Terminator can also be an ideal solution if you want access to a preview of each active program since sometimes, if you have too many open, moving between them can be complicated. This way, you will have absolute control over your computer's processes at any given moment, increasing the potential of the Task Manager to unsuspected limits.

We use the user interface of ALT-Tab Terminator we liked a lot. While it is true that most of the time, it is software that is dedicated to showing us the active programs on our computer, the context helps to focus on that information. The use of black tones seems to us very successful, and otherwise, moving between the functions it has is not complicated, even if we are novices.

To take into account.

Beyond what one could suppose, considering how well achieved is the interface of ALT-Tab Terminator, it is a service that does not consume too many computer resources, which is undoubtedly a great advantage. You can keep it minimized in the background so that it is not annoying, and if you decide to keep it open, the space it occupies on the screen can also be customized.

ALT-Tab Terminator also has an updated checking system, which will prevent us from having to check ourselves if new versions are available. In this case, we recommend installing them as soon as possible, because they usually add exciting features.

The best

ALT-Tab Terminator has many positive aspects. However, if we have to stay with some specific ones, we will have to talk first about its design, a real luxury, and undoubtedly, the main difference concerning the Windows manager. Then, launching all kinds of actions quickly and easily has its charm, especially if we usually keep several programs open simultaneously.

The worst thing

ALT-Tab Terminator, we have not found too many aspects that we can say are negative, and is that it aims to improve our experience with a Task Manager simply, and the truth is that it achieves it without problems. If we had to mention a detail, we could say that most users will not notice too many differences between the original Windows options and those of this platform. However, if you are a detail-oriented person, it will surely win you over.

Rating

ALT-Tab Terminator may not be the application you must install on your PC as soon as you buy it. Still, it does improve in many aspects the possibilities that Windows offers us by default to manage the open programs on our PC. If you want a more complete but, above all, more elegant and better-designed system to manage the active processes of your computer, here you have an excellent alternative.
