    You can check for example with Autoruns (Autoruns.exe and Autoruns64.exe as Admin)
    if there are some "fake" applications launched at start-up

    Hi ! So, For the task manager,
    you can reactivate it with the system registry.

    • List item Open regedit and navigate to this location:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
    • List item The right side of the window, double-click to open the DisableTaskMgr property
    • List item In the "Edit DWORD (32-bit)" window, set the "Value data" to 1 (one) and press the OK button if you want to turn off Task Manager.
      or 0 to reactivate

    But as a precaution !... I restore my entire PC, taking care to save my important information on a cloud service such as Onedrive or others for better security and to ensure that the problem is not propagated via your USB ports.
