Hello,

I have looked in many places to try and find the answer and i havent got one of yet,

Right now a shot is not necessary

What is necessary is to make sure you do not have bigger problems.
Run an antivirus scan
download and run malwarbytes.

If negative

Would you be interested in the free and much better than task manager, Process Explorer?

If you are we can just download and use. If you want to attempt to repair the TM, you can try this

This is like task manager on steroids. Try using right from the site, before download, see if you like it.
Process Explorer

Is the file taskmgr in your System32 folder?
With regard to Process Explorer, get it. No installation necessary and it blows Task Manager away.

Another user that likes Process Explorer, give it a try; might need to get use to it since it is so much more than task manager.
