    Clicking on a task sometimes arbitrarily creating two actions instead of one.


    I'm having some issues that puzzle me. When I have a webpage open and then I click to open a new tab often 2 new tabs open. That's not a big deal but not normal. The other thing that is happening from time to time is when I'm going through my emails and delete some to trash, I have found several times that it has deleted the one below as well which is problem especially if it's a utility bill or other important email. Does someone know if this is a PC issue, a browser issue , a Windows 11 issue or a Microsoft Edge issue and what can be done about it

    :)

    No restart button in task manager

    another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.

    I have the same problem. The task viewer icon was there but is now gone. I have gone through the steps you listed but no viewer. Then I created a new profile and the task viewer is there. Now, how do I get the task viewer back in my taskbar in my
    original profile??

    Hi Terry,

    Are you facing any other issues with the start menu or the action center?

    I would suggest you to try these steps and check if that fixes the issue:

    • Open an Administrator CMD window. If you can’t find a way, use these steps:
    • Press CTRL+Shift+ESC to open Task Manager.
    • Click File > Run New Task
    • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
    • Type CMD
    • Type the following commands at the CMD prompt:

      dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

      sfc /scannnow
    If the above steps didn't help, then try creating a new user profile and check if the same behavior is noticed. This will help us determine if this issue is confined to your user profile. Try these steps and let us know the results.
