    The two apps are Cotton and Cool and I don't know what they are. If I close them in Task Manager they just start again.

    No restart button in task manager

    another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.
     
  3. where is task manager in windows phone

    First of all i love windows, <3

    but

    I want to ask where is task manager in windows phone :-(.

    A task manager is very helpful and important app (as in windows pc).

    If android and ios can provide an app similar to task manager then why not in windows phone.

    I want to suggest you to build a task manager app which should show the following info

    • list of all running apps
    • Info about cpu usage and Ram usage (just like in windows pc)
    • A button which says close all apps . Because i don't want to close all apps one by one
    • Processes running in background.
    • Network information (like in windows pc)
    so Microsoft, are you planning to build an like this I have two suspicious apps showing in Task Manager :) .

    Waiting for your answer

    Startup Apps Not Showing In Task Manager

    Windows 11 Pro Insider Beta Channel - 22H2 Build 22623.891

    Hi, as per the title, startup apps are not showing in Task Manager with the message "There are no start-up items to display". All my startup apps are still auto-starting with Windows but I have no way to manage (enable/disable) them.

    System File Checker (SFC /scannow) reports no issues. Startup folders are present in default locations (I am the only user):

    Restarting PC and restarting Windows Explorer have no effect.

    As I mentioned, all my startup programs are still auto-starting fine but nothing is listed under "Startup apps" in Task Manager.

    Anyone else experiencing this issue?
