  2. Microsoft Edge / DUI70.DLL causes Task Manager to crash.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Open the latest Microsoft Edge.
    2. Open Task Manager with "performance" (or any other than "processes") as default tab.
    3. Wait a few seconds.
    4. Switch to "processes" tab.
    After switched to "processes" tab, there's a small change Task Manager will crash (0xC0000005, faulting module: DUI70.DLL).

    So I decided to use WinDbg and caught the crash into a MiniDump:

    MiniDump: OneDrive

    Hope you guys will fix bugs of Task Manager, it's very buggy. I encountered more crashes like 0xc0000409 NTDLL.DLL.
