Since last Windows Update "task host window is stopping background tasks windows 10" on 4 machines

Sure hope they listen to you and make a fix. It has been reported in other forums and by others in the Feedback hub

...and all of the so-called "solutions" don't address the underlying problem of a hung/leftover instance of task host window due to a bug in coding/logic in how windows services (mainly windows update) use the aforementioned process and how the aforementioned process regulates/terminates itself once it should detect that it has nothing to host. Perhaps there is some disconnect between different coding teams. The registry hack sweeps the issue under the rug and simply forces a shutdown after a set amount of time. Not a good idea to prevent data corruption over the long term. This is something that should be fixed/re-coded robustly by all the different teams within the OS group that work on common interop standards for processes that host other activities and pushed out next patch Tuesday before the mess compounds.

I am not sure that this problem (Task Host Window stopping shutdown) is after an update or installation on both my win10 desktop and laptop of Win365.

It also seems to be affecting backup to OneDrive.

Any help to find a solution much appreciated.

Thanks, Peter
