In the process of completing my work, I encountered the following problem:

Underfull \hbox (badness 10000)

Below is the code I ran:

\documentclass{article}
 \usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
 \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
 \usepackage{titling}
 \usepackage{amssymb}
 \usepackage{amsthm}
 \usepackage{tikz}
 
 
 \setlength{\droptitle}{-3.5cm}
 \setlength{\parindent}{0cm}
 \newcommand{\squad}{\hspace{0.5em}}
 
 \author{vladgovor77771}
 \title{Some article}
 
 \begin{document}
 \maketitle
 
 \textbf{Task 1} \newline
 Task description: \newline
 
 \end{document}
\textbf{Task 1} \newline

What’s causing it, and how can it be resolved in the “latex underfull hbox (badness 10000)“ in the programs?

    The cause: This error happens perhaps due to an underfull box is being forced with \newline Solution: You can start a new paragraph with an empty line:

    \documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{titling}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{tikz}


\setlength{\droptitle}{-3.5cm}
\setlength{\parindent}{0cm}
\newcommand{\squad}{\hspace{0.5em}}

  2. A similar problem occurred to me. I resolved it by removing \newline and \\ at each end of any sentence that contained nothing textual.

    Two examples are two of the reasons for this problem. 

    An example. \\
This is well used. \\
This line will cause the error. \\

(I'm a new paragraph) \\
Because there's nothing directly underneath.\\
The last line does NOT require a "newline".

This is a thid paragraph. \\
:D

    Similar rules apply to figures and similar. 

    This is a line.
Putting a "newline", as here, before a \begin will cause the error. \\
\begin{figure}[h]
....
\end{figure}
