    Accidentally pressed "end task" for "windows explorer" inside of Task Manager and restarted...


    Hello, hope to get help as soon as possible on this issue I ran into. I made a mistake by ending task for the "windows explorer" inside of task manager. In slight panic when I only saw blue screens on both monitors, I ended up restarting my PC instead. Now my Windows 10 won't boot up but it takes me to the blue screen where I have choose an option "Trouble Shoot", "Continue", "Turn Off your PC" etc. I wanna know what I should do to get back into or restore my windows. Any help is very appreciated!

    :)

  2. Accidental 'End Task' While in Task Manager

    So I accidentally ended a task (from task manager) that was important, and now a lot of the selection text is missing. For example, there is no text in the task manager where there was supposed to be.

    Windows 10 Task Manager "End Task" does not end task.

    Hi Glenn,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    1) Does it show any error message while performing End Task Through
    Task Manager?

    I suggest you to perform Safe Mode with Networking and then try to end the task and check if you’re able to

    Safe mode:

    Please follow below steps:

    • Click on power button at left bottom corner, press and hold
      Shift key and click on Restart.
    • Click on Troubleshoot.
    • Click on Advanced options.
    • Click on Startup Settings.
    • Click on Restart.
    • When your PC starts up, you'll see a light blue screen with the Startup Settings menu. You can now choose an option using your keyboard (number keys or function keys). To start up in Safe Mode, press
      4 or F4. To start up in Safe Mode with networking, press
      5 or F5. To start up in Safe Mode with the Command Prompt, press
      6 or F6. If you change your mind and decide you don't want to boot into Safe Mode after all, hit
      Enter to boot normally.
    Let us know the status of the issue.

    Thanks.
