I'm running Windows 10 Pro v1703 (15063.608) 64bit
PC with Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 CPU and 4GB of RAM
When I launch Task Manager, the [Processes] tab is frozen.
The [Performance] tab shows a split-second of metrics, a sliver of a line showing CPU from 0 to 100%, but no advancement in the line plots.
The Task Manager app interface is still responsive, allowing me to cycle through the tabs and close it, it just appears to not be doing its dynamic display of CPU/RAM usage, just showing a snapshot of the status at time of launching the app.
From Task Manager, I can follow the link to open Resource Monitor, which works as expected, showing real-time plots of apps and services taking up my CPU bandwidth.
I've rebooted the PC several times, and for the last couple weeks, there's no instance in which Task Manager works as expected, it permanently freezes right after opening.
How can I restore Task Manager functionality?

2017-10-18T17:19:23+00:00 Indeed I found the update speed set to "paused" and selecting "normal" resolved the issue.
How/why/what/who caused the switch shall remain a mystery.
Thank You...moving on.
