Solved 22H2 messed up Task Manager

meimeiriver · Oct 29, 2022

Running Windows 11 Pro, 22H2, I noticed my Task Manger is now showing a borked, undelineated logical CPU view (see below). I tried several views, but can't get the old view back. Any way to restore this?

Colors are gone too, on processes view.

At a guess, you have some switched the display from Overall Utilization to Logical Processors.

As to colors, most of my Processes show in blue. But not all.

Yes, I switched to logical CPU view. I always do, as I want to see the P/E cores individually. Prior to 22H2, the logical cores were neatly delineated, and now they're all on 1 grid, as it were.

I guess I didn't use the feature in older builds.

You don't want the graphs for 24 logical CPUs displayed as a 2D array?

In 'overall view' I can no longer distinguish between my P/E core utilization. It then all looks like 1 single CPU.

There are many changes to the GUI in 22H2. Hopefully a new version of Winaero Tweaker will allow us to switch to the old GUI. Winaero if you read this, please let us know.

Works properly here, maybe it doesn't like the 12th gen CPUs mismatched threads? with this bizarre 16 cores 24 threads.

Quite happily showing 8 cores 16 threads here.

if yo look closely at the screenshot in your post #1 it's not 'all on 1 grid'. There is in fact a thin border with no vertical or horizontal grid lines in it around each of the 24 graphs. With that many processors it's not very wide and difficult to spot, but there all the same.

Showing, yes, but happily, I dunno.

Here is my old look (see below). It has literal lines around the logical cores,making it so much clearer. But apparently the new UI is not bug, so I guess I will have to live with it.
