    Task Manager broken after latest upgrade


    This morning I updated to W11 build 22621.900 KB5020044. First off, task manager still has no search feature, but a bigger issue is how it looks. If I use Dark Theme, or Light Theme it's okay, but if I mix both themes, task manager's GUI gets broken and the text becomes unreadable.The first image here is with Windows mode set to Dark, and app mode set to Light, And the second is Windows mode on Light, apps on DarkStart search seems to be affected too:This weird blue tone is with the theme set to Light for Windows and apps.

    :)

    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.

    Task Manager broken after latest upgrade

    Task manager is blank in processes tab

    Hi,

    To troubleshoot the issue with your Task Manager, I suggest you to run the
    System File Checker     to check if there's a broken Windows component in your PC.

    To run System File Checker, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows + X keys.
    • Click on Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Copy and paste the command below:

      SFC /scannow
    • Hit Enter to execute the command. It may take a few minutes to complete.

      If you find Verification 100% complete, click X to close the Command Prompt.
    • Reboot the PC for the changes to take effect.

    Kind regards,

    Leon
