The dark theme has been a lovely feature of the Windows operating system. In the past, when you enabled the dark mode on Windows 10 or early releases of Windows 11, the Task Manager remained light.

Everything you need to make your Task Manager go dark

  • The Task Manager does not go dark with the rest of the PC even if you change your theme in the past, but that has changed in the latest updates.

  • To use the dark mode on the Task Manager, you must have the Windows 11 22h2 update on your PC.

  • Enabling the feature is easy and fast, requiring a few tweaks.

  • Download Restoro PC Repair Tool that comes with Patented Technologies (patent available here).

  • Click Start Scan to find Windows issues that could be causing PC problems.

However, Microsoft has changed this in the Windows 11 22h2 update as part of the many features to improve the aesthetic of the already stunning OS.

So, with this, you can easily enable and disable the dark mode for the Task Manager. While this looks easy, you still need to know how to do it, and we will take you through the steps in this guide.

How can I enable and disable the dark mode in Task Manager?

  • Press the Windows key + I to open Settings and select the Personalization option in the left pane.
  • Select the Colors option.
  • Now, click the dropdown before Choose your mode and select the Custom option.
  • Click the dropdown before Choose your default Windows mode and select Dark.
  • Now, click the dropdown menu before Choose your default app mode and select Dark.
  • Press the Shift + Ctrl+ Esc keys to launch the Task Manager; it should have changed to black with the other parts of your PC.
  • Finally, to disable the dark mode, repeat Steps 1 to 2 and select the Light option in Step 3 instead.

That is all there is to enable and disable the dark mode for the Task Manager. However, note that you must update your PC to Windows 11 22h2.

Else, the steps above will not change your Task Manager theme.
