  1. Task Manager and Regedit Not Working, asked for "How do you want to open this file?"


    I edited my task manager to fix a broken file, and now no files are opening. I attempted to open Task Manager ant Ctrl + R and tried to open regedit, but a menu popped up, reading "How do you want to open this file?". What should I do?

    :)

  3. 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????

    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.
