In case, you’re facing the issue where Windows 10 Task Manager is not working, then you must follow the workaround discussed in this post to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Windows 10 is the latest version of Windows OS from Microsoft. No doubt it has lots of useful features, but it is also true that the operating system is full of bugs. The worst part is that there is no fix released by the company to deal with the issue.

There are lots of users complaining that when they opening Task Manager in Windows 10, they are seeing “Windows 10 Task Manager (not responding)” The box is blank with a message not Responding written on the right side of the Task Manager box title.

Task Manager is one of the important UI element of the Windows 10 and this type of issue can irritate users who have a habit of using it frequently.

In case, Windows 10 Task Manager freezes or not working properly, stops working randomly or become unresponsive, then I recommend you must definitely try the workaround mentioned in this article to fix the Windows 10 Task Manager issue.

Fix: Task Manager not responding in Windows 10

1. Launch Windows Powershell. For that, search Windows Powershell in Start menu search bar and when the same application appears in the search result make a right-click on it and Run as Administrator.

When UAC dialog box appears, click Yes to continue.

2. Here you need to type or paste the following command in the Windows PowerShell windows and press Enter:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

3. Once the above command is executed with no error, head over to the following location in the File Explorer.

C:/Users/name/AppData/Local/

In above location “Users” is equal to your Account username.

Note: Before navigating to the following location make sure you have enabled hidden items in File Explorer. If not, you will not find AppData folder in the Account username directory. To enable this here is what you need to do:

In File Explorer Switch to “View” tab and check box “Hidden items“.

4. In the Local folder, you need to scroll down until you find “TileDataLayer” and delete the folder.

In case, you’re not able to delete the folder, then first you need to stop the “Title Data model server” service. For that,

1. Press WIN+R keyboard keys.
2. Type services.msc and press OK
3. In Services Manager, scroll down until you find “Tile Data model server” service and stop it.
4. Now try to delete the folder again.

5. Reboot your System.

Now check if Task Manager is working properly or not. I’m sure that this will fix Task Manager not responding issue because it worked for me personally. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
