Windows 10: When I open Task Manager it stays on screen for about 5 seconds then closes.

I just reinstalled windows after getting a new Motherboard and CPU, I installed the current BIOS and chipset drivers and task manager was working at that point. After installing other misc drivers (graphics and audio) it was still working. I restored my windows backup from before the reinstallation and now I cant get task manager to work.


Looking at other threads with similar task manager issues iv'e opened Command Prompt as admin and run sfc/scannow and had no integrity violations. Nothing to fix there. Iv'e also run DISM.exe/Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth and no corruption was detected. Nothing to fix there either. If anyone at Microsoft or anyone else who has had this issue and resolved it could help that would be amazing. I'll include a list of hardware in case that might be helpful.

Windows 10 Camera Opens, but closes in 5 Seconds

MS-Windows 'Camera Window' opens, but only for about 5 Seconds, then closes.

Haven't previously used the Windows Camera on my Laptop. (Rely on my Tablet). Today, pinned Windows Camera to Task Bar, checked 'Settings\Privacy\Camera' set to 'Allow Access'
and that Settings\Camera shows 'Camera Switched On'.

Every time I attempt to use the Camera, a Window Opens displaying it, but only for about 5 Seconds, then closes.

During the 5 Seconds the Window stays open, I tried clicking the Camera Settings Cog (which responds by opening to show a list of settings) but the Camera Window still closes before anything else can be done / clicked. (Can't keep it open for longer than 5
Seconds, literally).

Running latest 64bit Windows 10 Professional on an elderly Sony VAIO Laptop (9 Years Old). Everything else working fine, as far as I can tell. Thoughts? (Thanks in advance for any Comments).

 

Mobile 6 Task Manager Closes After 3 Seconds

I purchased a Samsung SCH-i760 3 weeks ago and have been putting through the paces. It is pretty well documented that programs "build up" and you need to close them with the task manager, but this particular PDA/phone has a quirk where the Task Manager
only stays open for about 3 seconds, hardly giving you time to use the tool. If there are programs in the manager, the first, highlighted program will open. If there are no programs in the manager, it just closes. Any ideas or similar experiences? I'm
sure it is not supposed to do this. None of the folks in the Verizon stores or help center had heard of this before.
