Task Manager Issues

[SimonF]

I am getting to grips with a new W7 Dell laptop and I am confused by the response of the task manager.

 

On my old Dell laptop (also W7), if I click on the application tab, highlight a task and then click on "end task" it generally does just so (albeit that occasionally it will say something isn't responding). If I do the same thing on the new laptop it seems to kill the task but confusingly the task remains in the list as if it is still active. I wonder if there is some fix for this?

 

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Task Manager Issues

 

I carried on "Googling" and found that if you click on view (in task manager) there are various refresh settings including "paused" - mine was set to "paused". I altered it to "high" and the list updates immediately. I hope this might benefit somebody else.

Hi Simon

 

Good to see that you found a solution .....even before we had time to reply. :)

This will, I am sure, be useful to others.

Having just looked, my set up is set for normal and not high, don't know what difference it makes though as I saw nothing different when trying the high mode.
