  1. I have the Windows Task Host preventing shut down.


    Hi, I have the Windows Task Host preventing shut down. I tried the troubleshooting method, didn’t work, edit the registry, didn’t work. Checked update, didn’t see anything needed to be update, didn’t checked the optional updates. Did a quick search online, one comment said that it’s due to a Windows Update back in July, KB5015879, the person uninstall that update and it back to normal. Thing is I couldn’t found it in the list of install updates. Maybe I missed it due to late getting to work, but skimming through it didn’t found it. So is there any way to fix the problem? I would be thankf

    :)

  3. Task Host is stopping background tasks : message at shut down

    Some programs take time to exit memory; especially if you had a lot of them open.

    What I suggest you do is make sure all programs are probably exited, especially web browsers like Edge that you might have had open with lots of tabs.

    Problem with the Task Host Window and the shutting down

    Hi Sayan_Gosh, thanks for your fast response! I will answer first all the four questions that you are asking me:

    • The PC that I'm using is a Gateway model DX4860 with previous Windows 7 Home Premium.
    • I have upgrade to Windows 10 using Windows update settings.
    • I have Norton Security Deluxe installed in my PC.
    • And finally, all programs were closed before shutting down Windows.
    I will execute your initial recommendations and the
    diagnostic steps that you suggest me; and I will let you know the status of the "Task Host issue".
