I find it very difficult to kill explorer in windows 10 when it locks up. I had to write a batch script to do so and add it to path.

My system's configuration and installed programs have remained the same for quite a while now. I'm not sure what could possibly be causing the behavior.

Win 10 Task View Process

I find it very difficult to kill explorer in windows 10 when it locks up. I had to write a batch script to do so and add it to path.

But I also have an issue where task view will freeze and hang on one of the monitors indefinitely. I can't switch to any other windows and even though I can open task manager with ctrl+shift+esc or through ctrl+alt+del, I cannot see as it appears to be behind the frozen task view. I can however use win+right arrow to move it to my other monitor and then use it there. However, I can only do this after hitting esc and sometimes ctrl+alt+del in order to clear up the second monitor which also has task view frozen on it at first.

Sorry for the somewhat convoluted explanation but I'm not sure how else to describe the issue.

My question is: what is the process name for the Task View? Is it just part of explorer.exe?

On a side note, why is it that Windows 10 doesn't have explorer.exe on the process list like in other versions of Windows? What does Windows 10 do differently to cause this?
