    Open administrative command prompt or administrative powershell and type or copy and paste:

    net user testcomputer /add

    shutdown /r

    .

    .

    When the computer reboots sign on with the new user named testcomputer.

    .

    Report into this thread whether the problem with task manager disappears or whether it persists with the new user.

    Run the tuneup plus bat script to see if it makes any difference.

    If it does not fix the problem then it is an additional confirmation of a likely registry problem.

    (bat scripts by default prompt antivirus software and require manual overrides)

    .

    The problem reappearing with a new user eliminates a problem with the primary user.

    There is likely a registry problem and the best option is to perform a reset save files.

    .

    .

    After a reset save files drivers and applications need to be reinstalled.
