Made myself a new install media usb, updated my two systems with it and the only issue seems to be the task manager crashing once after each boot or restart.

I think the version I'm running now is: 22621.521

Well just putting it out there.

Oh, nice new look and functions of the task manager!

I'm not seeing this problem nor are most people I know of who have updated to the latest version.

Did you originally update from 10 to 11, or did you either start with 11 preinstalled or do a clean install of 11 at any point in this installations history?

If this installation was an upgrade from a prior version, ever, and a CLEAN install of 11 was never done, I would highly recommend doing that.

right click start
choose terminal (admin)
if it doesn't open as powershell, click the drop down arrow in title header and choose from list
copy/paste this command into window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth

and press enter

Then type SFC /scannow

and press enter

Restart PC if SFC fixes any files as some fixes require a restart to be implemented

First command repairs the files SFC uses to clean files, and SFC fixes system files

SFC = System File Checker. First command runs DISM - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/what-is-dism?view=windows-11

I have seen others with task manager crashing on 22H2. I haven't seen it myself

Update from previous latest up-to-date Windows 11 version witch was a clean install, through windows itself with the media created usb.

As I said above everything ells seems solid besides this task manager error.

Sure I did not follow the clean format and install method, and just updated the easy way, but since I got nothing to loose, thought I'd see if it could go smooth.

Well those commands don't solve it,?

And if none of that resolves the problem, a clean install almost certainly will. To be clear, a clean install is not the same as a refresh, reset or restore.

Right, easily done on my pc, but I'm trying to find a resolve without doing a clean install for my perentals's pc, witch is quite the headache to clean install, because at the time it was an unsupported cpu and I hacked my way through the install to get Windows 11 on there.

Any clue how I might get around that this time and end up with a fully working up to date system for them too.

Besides that, I could just inform my perentals that they would require a new Cpu+Motherboard to get around the hacked OS they are on now and be clear for clean installing from here on out, that might even mean that I could get the upgrade for me and they could take my already capable hardware..hha!

But for any of that to be even a consideration, I would need to clean install my system 1st to verify if the new install media can actually make a clear install free of errors.

Nope. If the system wasn't eligible without a work around before, it won't be now either. And, that might be part of the problem as well. Unless task manager needs to be used often on here, might just ignore the problem and move on. Or, simply use Windows 10 since they are essentially the same OS with a couple of nice to have's tossed in and some minor aesthetic changes, anyhow.

Any way sure your correct, what do you make of my plan? I'd rather stay on Win11 and for that the very latest version please, all nice and working without errors.

Disregards previous post doesn't seem to be the resolve for the issue of crashing task manager.

Now on a clean install, seems like changing any windows related setting crashes the task manager!!!

This is not how it should be, since when does a create install media creation tool not create a stable version of the latest Windows OS.

What you are experiencing doesn't match what I get if I try to enable that feature, it works on my pc. And mine hasn't been clean installed since I got 11 in July last year.

So CPU they are using now is supported?
what are specs of the PC?

2 installs and windows not working both times... I have to guess the PC in sig isn't the one you talking about?

I guess I'm kind of confused, but honestly I don't understand why you are needing to run task manager so much, or at all. Especially if this is your parents PC. The only time you should NEED to run task manager honestly is when you're trying to troubleshoot some other kind of problem. If task manager is the only problem you have, and it only crashes when you manually run it, then, don't. Why do you need to anyhow?

I understand that it should work, and that it shouldn't be a problem, but the work around or something about your hardware that isn't compatible with the requirements of Windows 11 is probably what is causing this and if you don't have this problem unless you intentionally open the task manager, then not running the task manager (Which like I said isn't something most people will ever likely need or want to do anyhow) seems like an acceptable trade off for getting 11 to run if you insist on it. Technically speaking, there are reasons why older hardware isn't supposed to be permissible with Windows 11, and while I agree it's kind of lame, it is what it is.

Is this a legitimately licensed Windows 11 activation or has that been "worked around" as well?

Yes, and no, Trying to find out if this is an error I'm causing by enabling setting that cause crashes, or if the version I'm installing is not up to par. (on the pc in my sig)

I use Task manager on all my pc's permanently all the time, and yes all my pc's have legitimate licensed Windows 11 activations that are tied to the user accounts.

I'm going to try one last method, And that is clean install and not enabling the show history for all processes again, I think that is where the crashes started on my last clean install.

Oh and I'm not making a tradeoff, Task manager has to run without errors, I'll find a way!

Well, good luck. Hope you figure it out. I'm guessing it's something related to your work around if you aren't installing any third party software between the clean install and the start of the task manager not working properly since nobody else seems to be having this problem.

Now that I've spent more time looking at the issue, I figure that the crashing task manager isn't caused by anything I've done, I have verified this with several clean installs of the latest version of 22H2 and come to the conclusion that it is the install media that created me an usb with an unfinished windows product to install, thus the constant errors.

As of now I'm clean installing 21H1, and going with that for stability's & optimal performance's sake.

Seems I can't do what posted above either, because even with using a previous Windows 11 21H1 Creation tool still creates me an 22H2 install media. Odd, I'm done with this, somebody ells can find a solution to this issue, or we can all just wait until the auto update resolves this, once the windows people have done their magic!

After 22H2 only thing I seen so far is lots and lots of new flags in the Event Viewer
Click to expand...

My point exactly, before this 22H2 which is riddled with those red flags constantly even on a clean install.

A public release should not see a single flag nor in the event viewer or the reliability monitor, if that is achievable then I will roll with that OS!

In the order of things I look at if I am having a problem on my PC, event viewer is way down the list. Most of the events in there had their warning levels reduced as often they show an event that didn't work one time, but every other time works. Its just recording the times it didn't. They were being used to convince people they had problems by scammers who would sell them things they don't need.
Far better places to look for problems. Windows Error Reporting comes to mind... but its not overly useful either.

If PC is working fine on surface, just ignore event viewer and reliability history. It can just make you worried about nothing. I refuse to look in it now :)
