Windows 10: Game and Task manager crashes

Hello I have been having this issue for a couple months now. When I try to open a game it will get to a black screen and then it will freeze. The only way to get off that screen will be to open task manager to close out the game, however, It takes the game screen away but never actually closes the game. Then I close task manager and then when I reopen task manager nothing in it will work and it will say that task manager is not responding. I then have to restart my pc to be able to use task manager again or try to open the game. Sometime it will take 4-5 times of doing this before I can finall

:)

 

Microsoft Edge / DUI70.DLL causes Task Manager to crash.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the latest Microsoft Edge.
   
2. Open Task Manager with "performance" (or any other than "processes") as default tab.
   
3. Wait a few seconds.
   
4. Switch to "processes" tab.
   

After switched to "processes" tab, there's a small change Task Manager will crash (0xC0000005, faulting module: DUI70.DLL).

So I decided to use WinDbg and caught the crash into a MiniDump:

MiniDump: OneDrive

Hope you guys will fix bugs of Task Manager, it's very buggy. I encountered more crashes like 0xc0000409 NTDLL.DLL.

 

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.

Task manager is still crashing when applied the above steps and explorer crashes as it takes a while to close and its stuck on a white window and i cant open start till it goes.

"reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer" /v "DesktopProcess" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "SeparateProcess" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f"
