task manager won't display

W10 v2004/OS build 19041.630

Hi all. For whatever reason, I have been encountering a rolling series of problems. It started with my mouse freezing and getting "jumpy," task manager not displaying (it "opens" minimized in the task bar but won't display), the start menu not displaying, an inability to restore my computer to an earlier restore point and, as of this afternoon (worked fine in the morning), my Rivet Networks ethernet device stopped working (device I attach to shows I'm getting a signal). I have since resolved the start menu issue, but nothing else. Let me start here with task manager.

I usually have opened it via control-alt-delete, but have since learned control-shift-escape is more direct. I had it open and was actively using it around noon yesterday. Suddenly, it stopped displaying. It just sits in the task bar minimized. If I scroll over it, it shows it open, etc., but it won't display at all. I've tried multiple paths to open it, but the result is the same as described above.

I tried creating a new user account and was able to access it with no problem, but can't open it on my main administrator account. Suggestions? Thanks!

 

Windows 10 settings, and task manager wont open.

My Command (admin) will not open. Command will not open, task manager will not open. All since upgrade to creator edition yesterday.

Since I CANNOT get to Command prompt (admin) none of the above solution will work, obviously.

what next? format c:\*.*?????

There is a solution out there somewhere, right????

 

Can't open Task Manager as administrator

So, whenever i try to open my task manager on my pc, it says "Task Manager was deactivated by your Administrator", even thought it is my PC and i am the admin. I never deactivated task manager, i don't know why would i ever do that, any suggestions so i can "activate" it ? Screenshot - 12b812b50cb83bb65de7a1b3ebabbdcf - Gyazo (Screen shot)*Confused
