FreeRTOS works just fine with many tasks. Some things to check: Make sure you have enough heap to create the tasks if you are not using the ‘static’ creation functions. Defining the malloc failed hook can help a lot here. Make sure your tasks block when they don’t have work to do. This is a very different way to program than the ‘single task’ mode of thinking. ---

What did you do to find the problem so far ? Did you define [configASSERT](https://www.freertos.org/a00110.html?_ga=2.213540052.1971135108.1609110559-800452554.1575115350#configASSERT), enabled [stack overflow checking](https://www.freertos.org/Stacks-and-stack-overflow-checking.html)and maybe also configUSE\_MALLOC\_FAILED\_HOOK (see [Hook Functions doc](https://www.freertos.org/a00016.html)) for development/debugging ? Maybe you just run out of heap space creating more tasks. Do you check the return values/error codes of the resource allocation functions like `xTaskCreate` ?
