Microsoft Finally Fixes the Task Manager Cluster****
So apparently, the geniuses over at Microsoft have *finally* pulled their collective heads out of their asses long enough to fix a bug in Windows 11’s Task Manager. Yeah, that thing we all use to figure out which piece of RAM-hogging bloatware is ruining our day. Turns out, the bloody Task Manager itself was guzzling CPU juice and slowing down the system, especially when some poor users had performance views open. It’s like hiring a firefighter who shows up with a flamethrower.
This lovely performance-sucking “feature” came from a Windows 11 update (because of course it did — every “update” is a new way to ruin your productivity). The issue made your computer stutter like some drunk system process while Task Manager was open. And after a chorus of “what the actual f***,” Microsoft fixed it in their latest preview build. The patch is out now, but only if you’re masochistic enough to install the bleeding-edge Windows updates. Otherwise, just sit and wait for them to roll it out properly — eventually — like the slow-motion train wreck it always is.
So yeah, another day, another “Oops, we broke Windows again!” moment from Redmond’s finest. The fix is out — grab it if you like living dangerously, or just hope that this bug doesn’t spawn five new ones in the process. Typical bloody Microsoft — breaking stuff, then patting themselves on the back for fixing it.
Reminds me of when I once “fixed” a user’s slow PC by removing Clippy from the startup folder and replacing it with a shutdown script. Problem solved, no CPU hog, no whining. Sometimes, the best patch is a power button.
