Task Manager with old layout shown when executing from code

[NielsKoomans97]

I recently installed the newest Windows 11 update with the new Task Manager layout. Yesterday I encountered a weird bug where Task Manager has the older layout when launched from code.

Is there a reason for this or am I just plain stupid?

This is a repository for the design of the C# language itself; there's a C# discord at https://discord.com/channels/143867839282020352/1007030034902548540 which is a better place to ask for help with something.

Psychic debugging says your app is 32-bit hence launches the 32-bit task manager, which appears to use the old UI in 64-bit systems.

If you try (don't) removing all appx packages from the account, the task manager will also use the old UI, so it's likely that the appx package responsible for the new UI is 64-bit only.
