The once fearsome process killer is now a leaker of resources
Oh no!
The issue, which turned up in the non-security preview update for Windows 11 (KB5067036)
Oh so it’s nothing. Don’t join the Windows Insider program unless you are ok with getting bugs, and when you do get bugs - report them. That’s what it’s for! It’s NOT for regular everyday Joe Blow to run on their personal machine.
Preview updates, including this one, are offered to everyone, not just people in the Windows insider program. They show up in Windows Update with a ‘Download & install’ button, but will not automatically install.
And you don’t have preview updates enabled unless you know what you’re signing up for, or you’re too dumb to understand what you’re signing up for.
You were meant to destroy the unresponsive tasks, not join them!

KB5067036 is a preview update or a Beta update. Just don’t download Beta updates. Problem solve. Just don’t turn on the this option.
