Windows 10 Troubleshooting Program Manager in Windows 10: Freezing Issues and Solutions

[Skynotempty]

I thought Program Manager was in Windows 3
Why is it in Win 10?
On shutdown, occasionally the pc hangs with a message saying Program Manager is still running
At times it will freeze indefinitely
After running several malware and virus scanners the system reports no abnormalities
Can I safely hunt down and kill this beast?

Can you run winver and post a pic of it here please

 

[Skynotempty]

Here you go

Can you open an admin command prompt. Run sfc /scannow followed by dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

 

[Skynotempty]

scannow doing well.... will do dism in a few

 

[Skynotempty]

cleanup-image option unknown

 

[Skynotempty]

ahhhhhhhh Updated the bios then ran sfc scan and dism everything looks good now.
Prob with Cleanup command was a typo.
D'oh!

 

[nmsuk]

Ah we've all typo'd that command, easy to do.

So....now that everything is back up and running smoothly (24 hours and counting) I am wondering why Program Manager reared its head in Win 10.
Glitch? Throwback surprise?

Normally it's file corruption when taking updates that does it. So for major feature updates, I always end up clean installing.
