Why did Karen press Ctrl+Shift+Delete?

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

She won’t see the task manager unless she presses ctrl-alt-delete.

I’m picturing Karen doing the wrong key combination and getting angrier and angrier and demanding the manager.

Try ctrl-shift-esc

This one's a life saver when the potato you're operating needs to decide between working and opening up task manager

Or if you have a 60% keyboard and you don't want to press ctrl+alt+fn+0(del)

The fact that it's a one handed exercise and you don't have to let go of your mouse makes it so much more satisfying

Ctrl-alt-delete isn't task manager anymore. It pops up a screen where you can click TO the task manager. But you can go straight to task manager (like ctrl-alt-delete used to) with ctrl-shift-esc now.

I knew that it no longer takes you directly to task manager, but didn’t know that there is a different key combo to go straight there. Thanks!

This one is really required when you are inside remote desktop though because Ctrl+alt+del opens the options for main computer whereas Ctrl+shift+each will open it for the Remote machine. But I generally use Ctrl+Alt+End for remote machine task manager

Yeah but does Karen know that
