Task manager not showing any process!

Question

I have quite a few process running but task manager is empty!

Why?

Answer 1

In Task Manager, if you click View - Refresh Now, does the list of processes update?

If so, check View - Update Speed, is it set to normal?

Answer 2

Press Windows + X keys.

Click on Command Prompt (Admin).

Copy and paste the command below:

SFC /scannow

Hit Enter to execute the command. It may take a few minutes to complete. If you find Verification 100% complete, click X to close the Command Prompt.

Reboot the PC for the changes to take effect.

If that does not work, open Start > Settings > Time & Language

Click Region & language

In the Country or region list box, choose United states

Restart then check if Task Manager is working again.

No, update doesn't show anything.

Answer 4

I've done what suggested then I left the pc unattended for a while (about 3 hours) and that issue was there again.

I discovered that if I disconnected and reconnected from my account I solved.

But I don't understand why some times the task manager is empty.

Answer 5

I would recommend you create a brand new local account, backup your files in the old account, then copy them over to the new account.

See if that works.

If not, perform a repair upgrade:
