When I open Task Manager from the Start button this is all I see:

fObDK5vjX1MYDKZtFmVs8muNMLebjoydLy3ZIT83cprZK2PNJQWZmQXlR+JeTRgMpmsWZew230cwt5v+oiIMBoM52iBjsP8Pjh4ccAkvtfIAAAAASUVORK5CYII=


I cannot check which processes are using resources.

What have I done wrong?

thanks

Try to go to the View option above and select which columns you'd like to see. It may have been reset somehow.

Windows 10 has an abomination of a Task Manager. I don't recall it having all the nice bells and whistles as previous OS's did. Maybe I'm not doing something right. Perhaps there's a better Task Manger program out there for 10. If so I'll find it come the day I migrate to 10.

I've been taking 10 out for a spin in VMware and it's a glorious POS with a ton of telemetry and minor kinks. I saw all the telemetry by monitoring the VMware NIC with a network packet sniffer. IP after IP was going in and out. Not so with 7. Perhaps some local stuff, Windows time and the Internet connection status.
