Windows 10: Windows 11. Cant open programs, shows up in task manager as disabled

I used word this morning, an hour or two later I wanted to open it again, clicked it and nothing happened. I tried to open web browser and same thing. Nothing happened. When I open task manager is showes up but has the status "disabled" I am not talking about disabled to start with windows. I am in the tab processeswhere you would go to kill a non respondig app and it shows up as disabled.ThanksMartin

Program opening with with poer up.

Did you open Task Manager as I suggested? Please don't make this more difficult than it needs to be.

 

"Desktop (1) - Notepad" opens whenever I start my computer.

Hi Raymond,

This program might be enabled on the Startup of Task Manager. For us to fix your concern, we suggest that you disable it on Task Manager. To enable or disable apps that run at startup, follow these steps:

• Press Windows key + X on your keyboard and select Task Manager.
• On the Startup tab, select the program and click Disable.

Feel free to post back if you have other concerns.

 

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.
