Help! Task Manager Won’t Launch on Windows 11

Asked By CuriousCoder123 On

I'm having trouble with Task Manager not launching at all, whether I use Ctrl+Shift+Esc or Ctrl+Alt+Del. When I try to search for it manually, it prompts me to run it as an administrator, even though I'm already on an admin account. I'm using Windows 11, and I've checked my laptop's keyboard, so it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue. Has anyone else faced this problem and knows how to fix it?

Have you tried the classic first step - restarting your PC? Sometimes that's all it takes to shake things loose. Give that a shot if you haven't yet.

Another thing you can check is to see if anything happens at all when you press Ctrl+Alt+Del. If other shortcuts work, but Task Manager won't, that's really odd. Are you able to open other apps using the task switcher (Ctrl+Alt+Tab)? If it refuses to launch at all unless you run as admin, that definitely suggests a permissions issue or something funky going on with your system.
