    Task manager never opening


    In short, my pc has been recently faced with a continuous issue. Task manager, no matter how i try to get it to open it refuses to do so. The same is now for windows security centre. Software occasionally refuses to load altogether and freezes with no way to close it down. Ive tried executing commands, control alt delete and using the task bar, everything refuses to work and there are no useful fixes out there. The taskbar itself is now useless as i cant use the search function or cortana etc and in general it has become defunct. I could really use some help.

    :)

    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.

    Task manager opens minimized.

    Task manager changed and now opens minimized. It maximizes with no problem with a click but I would like to revert to avoid this step in a problem situation.

    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
