Hi guys,

Windows 11 user here. Whenever I am inside the details tab of task manager, I cannot right click on any application (for example, to set its priority/affinity). This is because the second I hit right click, task manager instantly crashes.

I really need help to get this issues resolved, I would great appreciate any assistance.

    I solved it by renaming the following files.

    location:C:\Program Files\Prio

    Before:ptm_win10.dll

    After:ptm_win10.dll .bak

    Open start and search for feedback and open the Feedback Hub app and report this issue.
    Run Windows Update and download and install all updates.
    Try performing Clean Boot and see if the problem persists?
    Have a look at:

    If not enable each service one by one to identify which one caused this problem.

    Hello there,

    If the Task Manager becomes unresponsive or if it suddenly crashes or freezes when you launch the app you can try rebooting your machine. Also, make sure you have updated the WIndows as this is a known issue and a patch has been resolved.

    System file check is a utility built into the Operating System that will check for system file corruption. The sfc /scannow command (System File Check) scans the integrity of all protected operating system files and replaces incorrect, corrupted, changed, or damaged versions with the correct versions where possible.

    -Press the Windows key and X at the same time.
    -Choose Command Prompt (Admin) from the context menu.
    -In the command prompt, type sfc /scannow and hit Enter.
    -Exit command prompt.
    -Restart the PC and see if this helps you
