    Why can't I open any application or task manager?


    Since the beginning of the year I've been having trouble with my computer. I have windows 11 and it started with the latest update. Every time I restart my computer and log in and only after I log in my keyboard isn't recognize and I can only use my mouse. I can't open any application, not even Task Manager or the command prompt. The only way I can get my computer in working order is to restart my computer, and bring up the safe mode, and uninstall any recent features.

    :)

    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.

  3. 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.

    Windows 10 Task Manager Applications Tab Didappeared

    While googling on the internet with the Google Chrome browser got an ad that blocked most of the page I had just started browsing. I opened Task Manager to see if I could determine what the offending app was with intention of deleting and could not identify
    it, so closed the browser session. Later when I opened Task Manager the entire Tab column for Applications was missing, so only 7 tabs are now shown.

    What I have done so far: 1) Reviewed over 20 pages of topic 'Other Settings' in the Windows 10 problems in the community and finally found a problem regarding the Task Manager that had an answer. 2) In that solution it was suggested to run SFC scan, and
    so I have done that. The returned message was that no integrity violations were found.

    Therefore, what should be my next step?
