Task Manager missing when I right-click the Windows 11 taskbar

On Windows 10 I'd right-click the taskbar for Task Manager. On my Windows 11 laptop it's not there. What are the other ways to open it, especially when a program has frozen?

the original release of 11 dropped it from that menu, it came back in a later update. run Windows Update and it should reappear. Ctrl+Shift+Esc opens it straight away in the meantime, which is faster anyway.
