The Secret File That Saves Your PC: PCB Explained | NTGEN1 Podcast

Meet the Process Control Block (PCB)—the most critical data structure in your Operating System that you aren't allowed to touch! 🛡️

In this breakdown, we explain why the PCB is the ultimate "personnel file" for every active process on your computer. You’ll learn how the OS Kernel uses the PCB to store vital snapshots—like the PID, Program Counter, and CPU Registers—to ensure your computer can multitask without losing its place. If your OS is the manager, the PCB is the dossier that makes seamless switching possible.

People are searching for how operating systems handle multitasking and what happens during a context switch in 2026. This Short simplifies complex low-level computing into an easy-to-understand analogy.
