[Answered] Is Quick Assist Ctrl Alt Del Available on Windows 10, 11?

Can I perform Ctrl Alt Del in Quick Assist on Windows 10?

Quick Assist Ctrl Alt Del, is it available or not?

Normally, the Ctrl key, Alt key, and Delete key can all be pressed simultaneously to open an operating menu, and this combination is known as Ctrl Alt Del. It offers several options including locking or signing out the computer and opening the Task Manager.

However, we're sorry to inform you that Microsoft Quick Assist Ctrl Alt Del is not supported. When you press Ctrl Alt Del during a remote session, it will only invoke the operating menu of the computer that gives assistance, instead of the computer that gets assistance.

How to open Task Manager on remote PC using Quick Assist

Quick Assist is a secure Windows built-in feature that allows users to get or give remote assistance. Although it is not available to use the Quick Assist Ctrl Alt Del shortcut key during the session to quickly invoke the operating menu, you can directly open the Task Manager on the computer that gets assistance remotely during the connection.

Step 1. On your computer, search “Quick Assist” in the search box to open it.

Step 2. Sign in to your Microsoft account, you can create a new one if you have no account.

Step 3. Then you will get a security code, which is valid only for 10 minutes.

Step 4. For the host PC, enter the security code of the client PC and click Share screen. If you want to give assistance, click Assist another person.

Step 5. Choose Full Control or View Screen based on your own need, and click Continue.

Step 6. Click Allow on the remote PC to start remote assistance.

Step 7. On the client PC, click Task Manager in the upper toolbar to directly open it.
