Hello, As stated in my question, I am having several issues with running applications on my gaming computer. I built this computer and have been using for the past 4 years with no issues on Windows 10. Today, I ran into several issues, starting with the task manager. The shortcut icon shows up on the lower task bar of my screen, however anytime I attempt to open it this way, or try to open it using CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+ENTER, I get the error "user/my user/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/internet Explorer/Quick Launch/User Pinned/Task Bar/Task Manager.ink The Specified module could not be found.

What is the -k for in the command line of Windows 10 task manager?

Hi Vicky,

In Task Manager on Windows 10 and Windows 11, the "-k" parameter is used to display the command line options used to start a specific process. It allows you to view the full command line used to launch a process, which can be helpful in understanding how a particular application or service is being executed.

To access this feature in Task Manager, follow these steps:

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager.
   
2. In Task Manager, go to the "Processes" or "Details" tab.
   
3. Right-click on the column header (where the process names are listed) and select "Command Line."
   

Now, you should see an additional column in Task Manager displaying the command line options for each running process. This will show you the full path to the executable file and any additional parameters used when launching the process.

Keep in mind that some system processes and services may have long and complex command lines, while others may have simpler ones. This feature is useful for troubleshooting, identifying the origin of a process, or understanding how a particular application is running on your system.

 

Issue with a task manager startup application

Right click any column. Name column will do. Enable command line view to get path.

 

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????
