Apps Getting Stuck in Recent Tasks Even After Clearing Them

Try force stoping and clearing cache and data for Huawei Home.

I tried doing that against my better judgement because Im really desperate and as expected the problem wasn't fixed and I spent 30 minutes re-arranging everything in the home screen

Hi

1. Clear data of Phone Manager App and then force stop it and check if problem remains or not?

2. If it didn't worked clear cache of all apps with sd maid accessibility service and turn off device then go to recovery menu and clear cache partition and then clear data of phone Manager App.

3. If it didn't work uninstall recent system apps updates like android system webview, YouTube, play services, play store l, themes, huawei related system apps like maps api and HMS and then do what i wrote in number 2.

Hope it helps.
Good luck

Hi, welcome to AC!
Thanks for your tip

My pixel 1 started doing that after the android 10 system update. Sometimes apps would clear out of recents normally, but usually not. But after a while they would almost always close on their own, and they never stayed after a reboot. It never affected the way my phone worked, so I just chalked it up to android quirkiness

My problem started immediately after updating to 10, and I'm sure a factory reset would have fixed it, but it was never an actual problem, mainly just a visual glitch that was irritating to see, so it wasn't worth it to me to factory reset. I've learned not to be too OCD about my phones or they will drive me nuts lol.
