The command "task list" is used in command prompt on Windows systems to display a list of currently running processes and tasks.

When executed, it provides a table of information that includes the process ID (PID), session name, session number, memory usage, status, and the name of the process or task. The list is generated based on the active processes and tasks running on the system at that time.

This command is often used to diagnose issues with system performance, identify resource-hungry processes, or monitor the execution of specific tasks. By observing the list, users can identify which processes are consuming excessive memory or CPU resources, aiding in troubleshooting or optimizing system performance.
