I only discovered this because of an accidental keyboard malfunction ~10 years ago.

I pressed Ctrl+Shift+Escape to open Task Manager. And then I was confused that the list wasn't moving around. Sorted by CPU usage and still, the list just wasn't updating.

Thought I'd discovered some rare bug. So I closed task manager and then when I tried to open it up again using Ctrl+Shift+Escape, I realized the Ctrl key was already pressed.

Thank you to the grime in the walls of the key housing of my Ctrl key in my uncleaned membrane keyboard. Wouldn't have discovered this feature without you.

A bit like how we discovered sticky keys from hammering 'Shift' while playing full screen games on Windows 98. Cost me more than a few lives...

I just realized I've been triggering this accidentally for months if not years. Every so often I'd notice that Task Manager would stop updating and I always thought it was some kind of bug where the "Update period" would get set to "Paused". All this time it was because I pressed Ctrl.
