Task Manager Dark theme?

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is William. I'm a Windows technical expert. I'll be happy to help you out today.

This is not currently available. The limitation is due to the fact that dark themes only support Windows UWP apps. The only way to render TM in a "dark" themse would be to enable high-contrast mode in Windows 10, which is likely not the effect you are looking
for.

 

Task Manager Dark theme?

Is there a way to make the Task Manager Dark, like the other Dark options / explorer?

 

UWP App Suspension in Task Manager

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



You might see the green leaf with suspended state beside the Minecraft app/program. However, the Green leaf shown beside any process is normal. The green leaf lets you know that the process is ready to use but is in suspended state.



This allows the computer to consume less RAM without affecting the performance of the processes. In other words, Windows puts the applications/processes in Ready state or blocks them from being executed by the processor until requested
by user.



In this scenario we would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the app and check.

1. Press Windows + I key to Launch
   Windows Settings
   
2. Click Apps and select Apps & features from the left pane
   
3. Scroll and select Minecraft and select Uninstall.
   
4. Restart the PC and then reinstall from Microsoft Store.
