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

Anonymous

Since last Windows 10 automatic update done on 8 PCs (KB5016616, KB5012170 & KB890830) 4 PCs are now showing "task host window is stopping background tasks" on shutdown.

Does anyone know what caused this?

Thanks

We had the same problem. Setting the following registry keys fixed the problem for us:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDPSvc:Start" set to value 2
and
set "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDPUserSvc:Start" to value 2.

Hope this helps you too. Best regards

Leave it alone. Mine and others were sorted 'automatically' around the time a Defender virus update patch was installed. Return any settings back to what you had before (optional)

Same issue on my PC started happening around 3 weeks ago.

I tried modifying the power plan settings as others mentioned doing so and ultimately disabled hibernate via the command prompt and the issue remains.

@microsoft Please fix it.

Unfortunately when shutting down the original issue was still there.
