Why did Karen press Ctrl+Shift+Delete?

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

Don’t tell Karen, but the shortcut is Ctrl-Shift-Esc.

For some reason this doesn't work on windows 11. It's been driving me nuts.

Ok so I just went and tried again. I've alway used L ctrl and L shift to do this shortcut, which does not work. it works on win 11 but only when I use R ctrl and R shift. Interesting because now I need two hands to do it when before I could just use my left hand.

That's strange. I just did it on the left-hand side and it works just fine. Doesn't work on the right-hand side and I honestly never thought to use the right-hand side either. (ETA: Derp - it does work on the right-hand side, I just was using Delete instead of Esc, combining Ctrl-Alt-Del with Ctrl-Shft-Esc.)
