According to veteran Microsoft engineer David Plummer, the Task Manager was only 80 KB in size, allowing it to run smoothly even on the limited hardware of that era.
What made it especially clever was how it handled multiple instances. Instead of simply checking if the Task Manager was already open, it sent a private message to the existing window and waited for a response.
If the window responded, it meant the Task Manager was already running normally.
If there was no response, the system assumed it had frozen and opened a new instance in its place.
