Task Manager malfunctioning and forgetting settings

Anonymous

The Task Manager used to work right, but recently it always opens in "less details" mode after a PC reboot, and I can no longer enable or disable Startup programs. Any changes I do in the Startup tab get reset after rebooting my PC, so I'm permanently stuck with the current startup configuration. It's driving me nuts.
