Can any one help me with this.

I got a new computer and every time I open up task manager it causes my computer to run slow then freezes.

If I have any thing running and open task manager this is when the issue starts.

I have windows 10 pro, i7, 20gb ram.

Thanks

    Yeah, I know. You spend all this money and windows OS (something that is suppose to work) makes it where it doesn't work correctly.
