Rant warning!
I mean I just quit a office call, the share screen ribbon wouldn’t disappear, opened task manager to kill it nope not found, finally had to select a “quit teams” option from start window. Note this is still windows 10.
Further the entire teams app is sloppy, when I start listing, the enter works but within the same message (when unintended) I have to ensure I click shift+enter to enter a new line. I can’t choose between enter and shift+enter.
A few questions now:
- why/how do these guys design a product this way
- Does it mean Microsoft can keep running any app which necessarily doesn’t appear on my task manager?
That’s nothing, Google had almost a dozen different chat apps at different times, some of them simultaneously.
As for
A lot of background services run as ‘svchost’, which loads the particular library implementing the actual service. Services can be added by applications, from what I understand. They all look the same in the task manager, and also can’t be properly selected in a firewall app because again it’s the same executable.
This is not to say that Teams specifically uses an svchost service, but they could if they wanted.
