After updating to Build 22557.1 on 2/16/2022 the new style Task Manager showed up and worked as advertise in the blog except for a minor bug with the Title of the tabs defaulting to Processes regardless of the tab selected to open as default in settings.
A day later on 2/17/2022 the new Task Manager started to revert to the old style on some machines randomly.
Other machines still have the new style Task Manager.
It appears to be another typical A/B testing done by MS without any warning to the users.
On one machine it reverted back again on 2/18/2022 after I restored it to the new style the day before.
I have no problem participating in A/B testing, but I'd like MS to notify when they change those experimental features so that the users are not left guessing on what is happening.

[We are beginning to roll this change out, so it isn’t available to all Insiders just yet as we plan to monitor feedback and see how it lands before pushing it out to everyone.]

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
At this point I don't have any idea why it behaves differently on the desktop versus the laptop clean install of the same Build 22557?
Hi fg,
Would be nice to hear something from them, anything...
As per our previous discussion, vivetool does not remove the new TM from a clean install,
do you you know of any other way? I want the old one back.

Cool, eventually they will sync up with the MS server in the state they decide.
There were some ways (registry hacks and disabling a task in task scheduler Microsoft\Windows\Flighting\FeatureConfig\ReconcileFeatures ) to prevent that, but I don't remember the details, you may find that somewhere in github.com.
Plus, they keep changing the way they handle these hidden features so it may no longer work. 😏
At the end the new T.M. will be the default anyway, unless everybody files negative feedbacks. 🤣
