Next test will be to run chkdsk while disconnected from the network to see if those a saved locally or not.
You don't give up easily, do you?
Dare I say looking forward to your findings? 🤣
[Resolved in Build 22567] New Task Manager reverting back to the old style with Build 22557.1, randomly on different machines.

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.
This comment is in the Blog:
[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.]

2022-02-23T03:31:27+00:00 Hi Sibro,
I did another test on the behavior of "chkdsk C: /F" and got even more confusing results on a second desktop after a clean install.
It only deleted the feature configurations added after the initial ones that were set up during the clean install.
I ran the chkdsk several times and always found the original feature configurations unchanged.
There must be some other way they save those original configurations or they get Reconciled from the server right after the restart. The whole mechanism is more and more confusing. 😎
On the same machine with a system that was updated from previous builds the chkdsk deleted all the feature configurations. 😜
Next test will be to run chkdsk while disconnected from the network to see if those a saved locally or not.

Do you have any comments about "chkdsk C: /f" deleting the feature configurations?
This was a problem that was already reported and acknowledged by MS several months ago with Insider builds.
We never got an official response on why this is happening.
The problem is now resurfaced with build 22557, but not on every machine. ????

When was the last time you had an eye exam? 😜
The blue on the title bar is nowhere to be seen, I see the same colors I described above.
These 2 look the same colors, maybe you need an eye exam too! 🤣
As for the performance screen, it matches the same colors that they show in the blog sample.
Not very consistent on the icons color. 🤣
