My Task Manager randomly pauses itself. That's very annoying. It seems to be random. I keep it open in the background and after half a day it's paused. Sometimes it works for days. Any way to fix this?

  • Try running DISM / SFC . dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth followed by SFC /SCANNOW and restart, test – John Apr 06 '23 at 14:29

    I know this doesn't answer your question (thus the comment) but Task manager was never intended to be run 24/7. The task manager itself uses a chunk of resources. Perhaps there is a lighter option to know whatever it is that you need to know. – Señor CMasMas Apr 06 '23 at 14:52

    Why would you keep it open for so long? There are way better monitoring options. – Destroy666 Apr 06 '23 at 16:22

    I do a lot of development and CPU and HDD activity is a pretty good proxy of any problems. It's useful to see few minutes of history, which I'd why i keep it open. Also TM sometimes starts paused! – Tomáš Fejfar Apr 08 '23 at 13:12

  • Not really :( I know it's paused. I'm reluctant to make it's registry read-only (it will surely randomly break one update or another). NO other solution proposed, – Tomáš Fejfar Jun 21 '23 at 07:30
