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

2018-01-20T10:35:47+00:00 Thank you for the fast response. We would like to know the results of the troubleshooting steps that Stephanie Sal provided last December 22nd. Were you able to perform a clean boot on your PC? If you did, please do tell us the results. This procedure is essential to determine if an installed software is causing the freezing issue whenever Task Manager is launched.
We'll be waiting for the results.
