A bizarre Windows 11 bug duplicates Task Manager instead of closing it

Description

Windows 11 users beware! The latest update, KB5067036, has caused a peculiar bug in Task Manager. After installing, closing Task Manager with the 'X' button doesn't actually quit the app, instead, it keeps running in the background, multiplying copies and slowing down your computer. Microsoft has yet to acknowledge or address this issue, leaving users to find workarounds like using the 'End task' button or command prompt to force close Task Manager. If you frequently use Task Manager, consider holding off on the update until Microsoft releases a fix.
