Task manager only has the open program window. It does not show the other sections.
What version of Windows are you using? Windows 10 Pro Task Manager has the multiple tabs. The application you really want is Performance Monitor, which displayed inside Task Manager on my machine. You can open it separately per the guide below. I believe the perfmon is on all Windows systems.
https://www.isunshare.com/windows-10/5- ... ws-10.htmlOne thing I find dealing with computer problems is a little online research using Google will quickly identify resources to help you troubleshoot and fix issues. Your problems are not unique, and it help you understand more about your computer. There may not be a quick and easy fix, it takes patience to work through the possibilities, and sometimes on a seriously screwed up machine, the easiest course of action is to back up your data and reinstall the OS. Usually you want to avoid that, and if you are only dealing with a minor annoyance that does not seem to impact performance (running applications), then I would suggest just ignoring the issue, at least until it becomes a bigger problem. If you are dealing with a very slow startup issue (which is what it seems by your description), I think that Shashi's suggestion of a disk problem needing chkdsk is good one. Disk fragmentation has been a problem for ages, power issues that interrupt data writes, can screw up the hard drive and make it slower or hang retrieving data from a spinning disk. If we are talking an SSD, then there should not be as much of a problem since it is so much faster, but I have personally seen SSD failures as well. If you are seeing abnormally slow startups with a SSD, then you likely have a more serious problem.
It would help if you told us more about your computer, right now we are just shooting in the dark and talking generalities. We do not know:
1. Version of Windows you are running
2. Computer CPU
3. Amount of Installed RAM
4. Age of computer
5. Type and capacity of drive (hard disk or SSD).
6. % Storage capacity remaining on drive
7. What kind of network are you on? (WiFi, Ethernet?) What is the speed?
8. Have you kept up with OS updates
9. What anti-virus/network protection software are you running. Are you running more than one?
This would make any suggestions we have more helpful to your issue, but keep in mind we cannot diagose and fix the problem, you have to do it, or take it to someone who can.
