    How to force quit a non-responsive app when it won’t allow me to select task manager?


    Sometimes my game crashes, and it won’t let me access other applications. It’s just stuck. How do I fix this? Ctrl + Alt + Delete is useless cause I can’t access task manager, and I don’t want to continuously restart my computer.

    Have to Force Quit "Task Manager" Everytime

    I've somewhat recently ran into this problem on my Windows 10 machine. Every time I boot up Task Manager and want to close it (using the X button), Task Manager crashes and I have to force quit it. It's not a major concern, but it does annoy me and lose me a few seconds each time.

    Any help is definitely appreciated.

    Task Bar, Task manager and apps, all not responding, Windows 10

    step 1 worked a dream. Had earlier tried everything suggested in these forums. nothing had worked to solve the problem. The media creation tool as suggested in step 1 did the trick. - it took several hours, but worth it.

    ps. original complaint - non responding - and task manager - blank or useless.

    How to force quit a non-responsive app when it won’t allow me to select task manager?

    Mail and Calendar App non responsive


    Ever since the last os update, this app is non responsive. I have 2 mail accounts setup, 1 is msn.com and the other is an outlook.com address (the main account for W10). Worked as intended before update. Now on 1511 10586.63. Here is screen shot of app. Was going to try and uninstall & then install but option is greyed out. Notice no accounts are showing under Accounts. Any suggestions appreciated.
