Windows 10: KB5020044 you just could not leave it alone the task manager

WHY!!!!!!AAARRRRRRR!Before updating to KB5020044 I had this setThis is what task manager looked likeNOW it looks like this!And all dark is no better!

:)

 

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 - Startup tab

Actually, I like your suggestion as a first step.

Unchecking the wrong thing in Autoruns can brick a system.

 

KB5020044 changes task manager color mode source (windows 11 Pro 22h2 22621.900)

Ever since MS introduced 'Dark' and 'Light' mode into windows, I have been using a custom color mode. I have the default windows mode set to 'Dark' and the Default app mode set to Light. This works well for me and emulates how it looked before all this light mode/dark mode business. until today that is. KB5020044 installed and suddenly task manager is taking its color mode from the windows color mode, not the app color mode. This makes most of the text of the task manager on the performance tab unreadable because it is black text on a black background. if i move the app color mode to dark mode, the black text in task manager turns white. I absolutely refuse to use dark mode; I hate how it looks. if i turn the windows mode to 'light mode' the text is still unreadable in task manager because it is now light gray text on a white background. unless MS has changed something unannounced, this should be fixed sooner, rather than later.
