Security News > 2022 > December > Microsoft: KB5020044 makes Task Manager partially unreadable
Microsoft says that parts of the Task Manager might become unreadable for some customers after installing this month's KB5020044 preview update for Windows 11 22H2 systems.
On affected devices, users might see that some user interface elements of the Task Manager are being shown using unexpected colors, making them unreadable.
"After installing KB5020044, Task Manager might display certain elements in the user interface in unexpected colors. On affected devices, Task Manager should function as expected, but some parts of the UI might not be readable," Microsoft explains.
Users who have picked Dark or Light mode in the Settings app shouldn't be impacted by this Task Manager display bug, according to Redmond.
As explained above, these Task Manager display issues are triggered after installing the KB5020044 November preview update.
Last week, Microsoft also said it started investigating domain controller freezes and restarts triggered by November Patch Tuesday Windows Server updates and Remote Desktop issues after installing the Windows 11 2022 Update.
