Title: Blank Task Manager Win 10
Post by: 1equals2 on 2019-05-31, 11:14:32

Hi  everyone,

Just bumped into this issue - machine updated like 2 days ago and since then the task manger is completely blank.
I can see the tabs, the CPU, RAM  consumption but no trace of listed programs. Restart helps but just for several minutes.
Have not had any problems with task manager so far, so it  should be again Microsoft doing something wrong.

Has anyone else encountered similar issues? Any solution?

Windows 10 Pro
1803
OSBuild 17134.765

Never happened to me. Which exact tab are you inspecting?
Are you showing processes from all users? Maybe this will help? https://www.reddit.com/r/windows/comments/4ammba/how_do_i_get_the_windows_10_task_manager_to_show/
Do you have UAC disabled?

Never happened to me until yesterday and today, couple of times.

Proccess tab and users tab just are just blank - like there are not any programs running, whereas CPU, Memory, Disk  just above the tabs showcase  usage as normal.
Was about to restart the machine to fix it. The task manager was still opened underneath windows explorer and internet browser. Decided to closo both and miraculously the task manager  refreshed from blank state to "typically working " mode.

I will hold on with the new user account thing as they suggest, but would be more than happy to track down the culprit for this untypical  behaviour.

If closing the browser helped, then I guess it might have been some GPU / GPU driver issue.
