What happens if you end Task Manager's task with Task Manager?

Hi Nick

Ending the 'Task Manager' process in Task Manager will just close the Task Manager and have no affects thereafter, because Task Manager is just another process in Windows, that would not cause any type of looping affect, and you can simply open Task Manager
again . . .

 

Windows 10 Task Manager "End Task" does not end task.

Hi Glenn,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

1) Does it show any error message while performing End Task Through
Task Manager?

I suggest you to perform Safe Mode with Networking and then try to end the task and check if you’re able to

Safe mode:

Please follow below steps:

• Click on power button at left bottom corner, press and hold
  Shift key and click on Restart.
• Click on Troubleshoot.
• Click on Advanced options.
• Click on Startup Settings.
• Click on Restart.
• When your PC starts up, you'll see a light blue screen with the Startup Settings menu. You can now choose an option using your keyboard (number keys or function keys). To start up in Safe Mode, press
  4 or F4. To start up in Safe Mode with networking, press
  5 or F5. To start up in Safe Mode with the Command Prompt, press
  6 or F6. If you change your mind and decide you don't want to boot into Safe Mode after all, hit
  Enter to boot normally.
  

Let us know the status of the issue.

Thanks.

 

Can I end a Process using the original WM task manager?

I have a Verizon Moto Q9c, I can end the application but there is no option to end a single process only the grayed out option to end all the processes. I just want the option to end processes that run in the background when they don't need to be. The
process I was trying to stop at the time was the My Phone Runtime, since I use My Phone with the manual setting I don't need it open.

Edit: I am using the WM task manager not the Motorola task manager (which doesn't even have the option to view processes)
