Windows 10: Where can I get help with Task Manager?

Task Manager won't end tasks and freezes, making it impossible to close after I click the x in the upper right corner. Adobe Creative Cloud won't access my apps, and Adobe tech support says I must fix Task Manager before they can turn off some processes and determine what's wrong. I tried manually installing the new version of Photoshop but the installer freezes after just 5% installation, which Adobe blames on the Task Manager being unable to end a process.How can I get this fixed?

No restart button in task manager

another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.

 

Task Manager - Startup tab

Actually, I like your suggestion as a first step.

Unchecking the wrong thing in Autoruns can brick a system.

It's possible that Computer Management is being blocked by SmartScreen. We suggest disabling it and see if it helps. Follow the steps below:

1. Click the Start button.
2. Type smartscreen in the search bar.
3. Click Change SmartScreen settings.
4. Click the drop-down arrow in the Security row.
5. Click Change settings beneath the WindowsSmartScreen row.
6. Click Don't do anything (turn off Windows SmartScreen).
7. Click OK.
