Windows 11 KB5067036 Causes Persistent and Duplicating Task Manager
Microsoft has acknowledged a bug in the October 2025 Windows 11 update (KB5067036) that prevents the Task Manager from fully closing, leading to multiple background processes that can slow down the system. A temporary fix involves manually ending the processes via Command Prompt, while Microsoft is investigating a permanent solution. The update also includes other fixes, such as improvements to the Media Creation Tool and error resolutions.
