Windows 10: taskkill closes my game.

Hello there! So I decided to play an old game called " cs 1.6 ". Installation was successful, but after I joined a multiplayer/singleplayer match, it opened cmd prompt " taskkill " or something like it. I tried restarting my pc, reinstalling the game, nothing worked. So I can't play CS 1.6 because of taskkill.exe.
Ur help would be really appreciated!
