Why does a process appear as 'not responding' with tasklist, but 'running' in Task Manager?

Between running tasklist -fi "STATUS eq NOT RESPONDING" and looking up the process in Task Manager, why would tasklist indicate NOT RESPONDING while Task Manager says otherwise, or vice versa?
They both had the same pid yet different apparent statuses?
'tasklist' output vs Task Manager processes
The same applies for the node.exe which aren't on screen.

In Task Manager's Details page, the values for theStatuscolumn are "Running" or "Suspended". It doesn't check for responsiveness.

@RaymondChen. I don't believe that is correct. Task manager withNot Respondingstatus. I created a WPF application and put the UI thread to sleep for 10000ms and Task Manager will show the executable as not responding. Andtasklistwill show the same status.

Hm, interesting, because I made one of my own apps stop responding and Task Manager didn't care. The concept of "responding" or not is a UI concept, not a process concept, so this column is basically heuristics.

@RaymondChen. I don't believe that is correct. Task manager withNot Respondingstatus. I created a WPF application and put the UI thread to sleep for 10000ms and Task Manager will show the executable as not responding. Andtasklistwill show the same status.
