The Task Manager might display odd-looking colors after installing the latest Windows 11 optional update

Microsoft has identified another issue affecting the Windows 11 2022 Update. The company made the announcement via the Windows 11 Health Dashboard and stated that the Task Manager might display odd-looking colors for users that have installed the latest Windows 11 optional update, KB5020044 to their devices.

The issue should however not affect the functionality of the tool, but visibility in some parts of the user interface might be poor. If you have Choose your mode set to Custom, in the Personalization > colors section of Settings, you are more likely to encounter this problem. On the other hand, if you’re using Dark or Light for the Choose your mode setting, this issue should not affect you.

As Microsoft continues to work on a fix for this issue, it has provided a workaround that should help you bypass this problem. All you need to do is set the Choose your mode setting to either Dark or Light until this issue is resolved.

Despite the odd-looking colors in the Task Manager, this update came with a fix for the issue that was causing some apps to be unresponsive for some users whenever they tried to use keyboard shortcuts to turn on/off or change IME (Input Method Editor) input modes. This is on top of the array of features the update added.
