    Open Task Manager in Windows 10


    In tablet mode, long pressing the windows icon in the task bar will pop up (at release) a menu like that in step 4 above. There the Task Manager is available.

    None of the above described ways to open the Task Manager seem to work in tablet mode. Does anyone know? I cannot for my life figure it out, either I'm plain stupid or MS is playing tricks on us...
    Thanks.

    Can't open start menu, cortana, nor the task manager after creators update.

    Hi Anna,

    Since you mentioned that you're experiencing issues with the Start menu, Cortana and Task Manager, we may need to do several troubleshooting procedures.

    For our first procedure, could you please try to right-click the Start
    menu, select Task Manager and check if you are able to access it. If you are still not able to access the Task Manager, try to press
    Windows Key+R from your keyboard and type "Task Manager" on the run command and check if you are able to access it.

    If you're able to access the Task Manager, please follow the steps and check if the steps help to fix the Task Manager:

    • Open Task Manager.
    • Click on the Details tab.
    • Right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End task.
    • Right-click on the File at the upper left part.
    • Select Run new task and type explorer.exe and click Ok.

    To troubleshoot the Start menu and Cortana, we suggest that you carefully follow the workaround provided by
    Andre Da Costa, dated last October 17, 2017, on this thread.

    We are eager on getting this resolved for you, we will wait for your feedback.

    Sometimes my Task Manager refuses to open and so does my windows menu.

    GUI Issue - Windows 7

    No GUI means no start menu and desktop icons? That usually means explorer.exe isn't running. Hit ctrl+alt+del, open the Task Manager, and see if explorer.exe is in the processes list. If not, go to File -> New Task and enter the following: C:\Windows\explorer.exe
