TBF the task manager and those windows explorer dialogues were programed in like 1996 and it's probably one of the best functioning feature in Windows so changing it too much carries high risks.

On my Windows 10 laptop, Task Manager virtually freezes the whole system for about four seconds when you switch tabs.

Well the only Windows 10 system still receiving support is Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC, afaik, and I have one which does not have that particular problems. Are you properly scheduling updates so that it doesn't run automatically?

It's a pretty old issue (and you can find others complaining online over the years) and my current machine is running Gentoo Linux, so I'm not trying to fix it any more.
