My Task manager window - part of it is missing

My Task manager window now opens a with a different window than the usual one; this does not show processes or any other tabs, just the list of programs running. It does not have a Menu.

I can't recall altering it in any way, but I have restarted my laptop several times and cannot go back to the usual window, which used to open using [Control-Alt-Delete] or clicking on the Taskbar.  How can I get the normal window back?

    It sounds like you may be/are running Task Manager in tiny/small footprint mode.

    If you double click the empty space around the border of the Task Manager display it will switch back to regular mode and then you should see the tabs you are used to seeing.
