    Task Manager Not Opening After Update.


    Hi,

    I'm running Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Edition. Over the weekend it updated to Windows 10 Insider Preview 21313.1000 (rs_prerelease). When I next used Windows, Task Manager would open then close immediately. I did a virus scan and nothing was found. After rolling back to the previous version it worked fine again. Last night Windows auto-updated and I had the same issue. This time though Security and Maintenance would not open either. Again after a roll back, everything is fine.

    Has anyone else encountered this?

    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.
