Confirmed.

Maybe that's an undocumented feature as you won't get to press those keys at the same time normally I think

i highly doubt that it is a feature, not reproducible in linux

that key combo is a windows feature, not a bug.

It is indeed a hotkey, however its task is to kill a hard-frozen process, not create one.

Out of interest, could we get a reference to Microsoft/Windows 7 documentation that specifies that ctrl-alt-esc key combo. The only references I could find earlier did not even mention this key combination (several close ones, though), although it could be just my less than perfect search skills, too.

For me, with other apps than Minecraft, the ctrl-alt-esc seems to not kill anything, but works as just alt-esc (drops the app window below others and moves focus).

Fixed with the new launcher.
