    When trying to log off or shutdown, a message appears saying that Task Host Window is...


    I have tried reviewing previous posts regarding this error message but have not found a solution with which I am able to resolve the problem. Laptop purchased July 2019, preloaded with Windows 10. Have allowed all recommended updates to date, but this error popped up in September 2019. Having reviewed and attempted previous suggestions - all of which appear to be two years old or more, the language update component appears to be hung. Have been researching what should be my next step but have not found a viable solution. Would really appreciate a legit response from Microsoft to solve this and move forward.

    :)
