20H2 annoying problem with logout or shutdown

[Sheridan]

After upgrading a number of our PCs to 20H2 we're seeing a lot (i.e just about every one!) sticking on logout or shutdown with the message "Task host is stopping background tasks (...\Synchronize language settings)" and we have to force the signout or shutdown

 

This is just going to mean a lot of PCs left logged in, I can't seem to find a reason of fix for this? Just another 'feature' we have to workaround perhaps?

I’ve not seen this behaviour on a wide deployment of new and upgraded 20H2 installs, but I haven’t seen them on the latest updates.

Hi

Someone had mentioned something similar to this on the JISC Windows mailing list and they later replied to their original comment with this link;

Hmm, its happening on all of our 20H2 PCs, which is a PITA, but that's pretty much the W10 path - fix 10 bugs, introduce 20 more..

 

The fixes I've found involve a full reimage. That will have to wait!
