Had to do that when I patched from 1709 to 1803 or w.e., as my old account would no longer work at all. This Windows-as-a-Service thing is such an upgrade from Windows 7/8
Yeah, I installed this (because I love it) and uninstalled a few things I didn’t need, like Epson printer monitor things. Basically Opera is terrible with memory, so closing that every so often has helped a LOT.

Is there any way to access the normal task manager’s startup section after replacing it with process explorer?
Does running taskmgr.exe not work? I never set it to replace myself, I really like Win10’s task manager and don’t need to drill down that often.
There should be a command in one of the menus that starts the regular Task Manager. There is one definitely in Process Hacker.

Nope there isn’t in Process Explorer. The UAC option to replace Taskmgr isn’t a toggle/switch but once you change it, you have to remove the regkey it creates to get Taskmgr back.
Alternatively, as long as you’re dipping toes in SysInternals, you could use autoruns instead of that section of task manager.
This happened again. At least this time I was able to fix it immediately. It doesn’t help that finding the task manager without the search box is a pain in windows 10.
Wait, isn’t just right clicking the bottom of the screen? I thought that was the default for everyone.
Ahm, yes, I knew that, of course, sure.
Of course, with all the versions of windoes out in the world, who knows for sure what the defaults are anymore. They change them every version it seems.
ctrl+shift+esc also works, in case your mouse is screwed up
Also don’t forget Win+X for a menu of stuff

Also an option on the Ctrl+Alt+Del menu.
I must have suffered a major brain freeze :( I’m actually aware of all of these.

Yep this is what I’ll do. Thanks.
My Windows 10 computer has decided it’s not going to go to sleep automatically. The only thing I’ve installed recently is the software for my Corsair Mechanical keyboard (iCue). You’d think, though, that if it were that, it would show up as a culprit when you start an elevated command prompt and type in powercfg -requests. The results when I do that are “None” across the board.
Any ideas on what else to check?
I’m in much the same boat.
