Windows 11 Task Manager Bug Squashed: Microsoft Puts an End to CPU Chaos!
Microsoft resolved a bug causing Windows 11 Task Manager to linger in the background, thanks to the KB5068861 update. Previously, Task Manager refused to fully quit, leading to stuttering and CPU issues. Now, users can breathe easy, knowing their Task Manager isn’t secretly moonlighting as a system resource hog.
