On windows 11, the task manager freezes as often as the programs do - and is absolutely useless when a program is frozen, it won't even try to open until the issue is resolved most of the time.
Apart from the delay to harvest data from all the counters it scrapes, I don't know what you're talking about (to be fair, I stick to the old GUI that's far richer in information, I'm not sure what the newer reduced UI behaves like).
Reminds me of the time I walked into my room and my computer, without asking me, was in the middle of updating from Windows 7 to Win10. I took my chances and unplugged it from the wall. Nothing bad happened, thankfully. Then I went in there and removed any notion of Windows Update I could find, short of removing the physical bits from my SSD lol
I was wondering if this post was headed in the direction that a user program typically does nothing most of the time, since it does its work and then is paused by kernel or it voluntarily gives execution away to wait for a trap or interrupt. Or it could be waiting for disk access which is like a millennia in terms of CPU time.
I was expecting it to be about GUI programs just waiting for an input.
Because when it hangs, it's most probably either doing something long, or something that got elongated due to external factors, which ended up being programmed into the GUI thread. So definitely not idling.

I'm going to start adding random from 0 to 5 minutes sleeps on my programs. To give the user a time to rest and relax.

Task Manager is weak.
Strong users use kill -9

Sometimes. Sometimes it opens another instance of itself when attempting to close it.

I unplug my computer by yanking the power cable from the middle. You brave enough to insult my methods?

Yes, because I always use my shotgun to kill programs

I just jam local power station's turbine with random steel rods.
Nah, there is better method: just induce false vacuum decay.

If your goal is to enchant the cable with
