Permssions won't allow shortcut change to run Minimized?

First I suggest you set UAC to maximum. Then try with Process Explorer instead of Task Manager. Here's a Tutorial that shows things you can't do with Task Manager: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...s-50-av-s.html

Process Explorer just like Task Manager default only shows your own processes. If you want to show all processes you need to start the program with elevated rights.

Sorry, forgot to say that you can find the download link for PE in the Tutorial, and that the Tutorial also shows IMO how much better PE is than Task Manager. That's all. See the VirusTotal info in the Tutorial only as extra information but not related to your current issue.
Besides that I meant you could try and see if PE works better when started minimized.

If you have the default UAC settings, no program is started with administrator/elevated rights. If a program requires admin rights you'll get an UAC prompt first.

When you start Task Manager or PE it starts as standard user even though your Windows account is an Administrator. You won't be able to see all processes and all information until you launch it with admin rights. In Task Manager this is the button "Show processes from all users" (with the UAC shield on it). This is equal to right-clicking your shortcut to Task Manager and selecting "Run as administrator".

Hope I explained better now :)
