Windows 10: The Desktop Window Manager process has exited. Process exit code: 0xc0000374, Restart...

Edition Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview Version 23H2 Installed on ‎03-‎02-‎2024 OS build 26040.1000 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26040.1000.0 After update My screen starts going black frequently

:)

 

Desktop Window Manager process has exited cause a beep?

I had this event several times (very rare only few times a year I suppose) where my laptop makes a beep sound similar to dialing sound in those old landline phones.

It is quite unique sound and I am quite sure it is not hardware disconnect sound or sticky keys activation sound(disabled sticky keys a while back).

It happened just few minutes ago. So I decided to investigate.

The quick beep happened just after my main screen temporary went black (windows and taskbar disappeared, mouse still present but lag a lot, move very slow, secondary monitor was still playing Video on VLC without any abnormalities.

The event lasted few seconds up to half a minute before my main screen returned to what it was displaying.

I decide to investigate and checked the Event Viewer where I found at about same timeframe there was a error and warning.

The Desktop Window Manager process has exited. (Process exit code: 0xc0000602, Restart count: 1, Primary display device ID: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000)

The Desktop Window Manager has registered the session port.

A minute later at 00:04:34 and 00:04:35

Two Windows error Reporting entry related to dwm.exe were also present.

So, I assume the Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) Crash was the cause of the beep?

I think the crash might have something to do with my laptop is an old Dell 7720 running on a i7-3610QM, it wasn't designed to run Windows 10 (it shipped with Win 7)

 

Is there a way to continue giving input after terminating process with Ctrl + C and getting exit code?

I'm using Powershell from Windows Terminal. When I run some CMD process (such as serving file on local server) and quiet with Ctrl + C, It outputs Process exited with code ****** and stops taking input after that. So I have to open new terminal tab, CD into
working directory and cont. every time. Is there a way to continue giving input after terminating process with Ctrl + C and getting exit code?
