I have no clue how long it had existed on Windows at that point (I think I got it after several years of using XP?) but I discovered Ctrl Shift Esc to task manager pretty late…
Which is interesting because I had used that combo a lot on my old 80s computer before un-learning it. Ctrl Alt Del didn’t exist on it (alt wasn’t a thing and the key labelled “delete” was the equivalent of backspace). Ctrl Shift Esc was the *break* command back then, which let you interrupt whatever program was running.
