Task Manager not working

[learninmypc]

Earlier when I was doing this https://www.techspot.com/community/topics/google-chrome-self-update.195848/
I could find no way to exit "Services" so I shut the pc down. Now, when I right click the Taskbar, Services "only" pops up. No Task Manager. How do I get the "normal" Task Manager back.
On my W7.

Clarification, When I right click Taskbar & left click the Start Task manager, ONLY the services pops up, no task manager. Sorry for incomplete info.

Ok, I've found out that when I right click The Taskbar & left click Start Task Manager this pops up

so I can right click the one showing Windows & it disappears, no rebooting or shutting it down but I still can't get the "Task Manager" to work.

Command prompt and enter TASKMGR

That is part of the task manger. Can you pull up the task manger buy using Ctrl,Alt ,Del keys

 

[learninmypc]

Ok, then what? Tap enter? pardon my ignorance.

Once you enter Task manger in the command prompt. Tap your enter key

HUH? TAP enter sounds like a iPhone or some Windows RT/ HP touch screen device.

You said Win/7, so: start->search-> enter exactly TASKMGR and hit enter.

 

[learninmypc]

Ok, I've done that & services still pops up

Time to run SFC /SCANNOW
you will need your install CD

There should be a row of tabs at the top of the window. I do not see them. It could be the task manger is corrupted. You may need to do a system restore.

I don't have an install CD

 

[Cobalt006]

Still try SFC/SCANNOW. See if that fixes the problem. It may or may not. You may need to try a system restore.

Right click on the command prompt and run it as administrater. Then when the the window opens Type SFC/ SCANNOW Then hit enter on your key board

Am doing such,but it seems to have stopped,I think.

If this is what you're talking about, there is no BIG RED X to click on.

Might you explain ?? I right click the Task bar, left click Start Task Manager & only services comes up. Nothing else.
