iOS simulator home button double tap (to open task manager) often fails

Question

Often when I try to open the task manager in an iOS simulator by double tapping the home button it takes a couple of tries. It doesn't matter if you use command+shift+H or the clickable button of the bezel. I had this problem with iOS10 but it seems even worse in iOS11.

Anyone else annoyed by this?

Maybe there is a easier way to open the task manager?

this is the only answer that worked. The "hardware" menu blinks a few times and then sometimes it shows the tasks. – Supervisory
