Windows 11's Task Manager has a weird glitch that can create an infinite loop of new task manager windows. When users try to close the Task Manager, they're often unable to do so because the app is still running in memory and continues to spawn new instances. This issue affects Windows 11 systems with the October update preview, specifically those using the 24H2 and 25H2 versions.
The problem begins when a user opens the Task Manager, which creates one instance of the process. However, each time they try to close it, a new copy of the task manager window is created on top of the old one. This repetition continues until the system becomes bogged down due to excessive CPU usage and memory consumption.
One possible way to resolve this issue is by using the command line to terminate all instances of Task Manager at once. Alternatively, users can highlight each individual instance in the Task Manager window and click the "End task" button to close it manually. Microsoft has yet to acknowledge this problem as an official Windows 11 issue but multiple users have already reported experiencing the glitch.

u guys ever notice how windows 11 is just a giant experiment on our computers? like, first they break spotify, then they make us wait forever for updates, and now they're releasing some dodgy task manager thingy that's supposed to run in memory but ends up running wild outta control 
. i'm not saying it's intentional or anything ( probably not 
), but come on microsoft! can't u just fix this one thing without making us dig through the command line like we're hackers or something? 
. Can't they even get their own app right?! I mean, come on, who comes up with these stuff? Infinite loop of task manager windows? It's like something out of a cartoon! And now you're telling me that there's no official fix from them? What kind of customer service is that? 
. Just what I wanted to do with my weekend - play around with command lines and try not to mess up my system. Not exactly what I had in mind when I installed windows 11 
.
. That's not exactly ideal for getting work done.
And yeah, why do they still haven't addressed this?! It's not like we're asking for much - just a stable Task Manager that can handle the basics. 
The fact that Microsoft hasn't acknowledged it as an official issue is pretty frustrating... I mean, who hasn't had one of those moments where they're stuck with the Task Manager on repeat? 
. This Task Manager glitch is driving me crazy! How can one little app be so finicky? And what's up with all these new versions of Windows that just seem to break more things than they fix 
. And yeah, manually closing each instance is so tedious... why can't they just make it work properly like it's supposed to?! 
. That's just too much work. Can't we just have a simple Task Manager that works as intended without breaking down into chaos? 
! It's so frustrating trying to close it manually because there are just too many windows to deal with. I'm surprised no one has mentioned this on reddit yet 
. anyone else having this problem? i tried using the command line to kill all instances but that didn't work either
