Not enough information to get focused help.

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time
things worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the
malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what
programs (and versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

Definitely go through the Second Question because Task Manager behaving
the way you describe is a symptom of infection.

Almost certainly a virus. There are several that attempt to frustrate any
attempt to remove them.
If you go to START / RUN & type in MSCONFIG or/& REGEDIT, will they open for
you?
Will your anti-virus program open?
If not start hunting for a virus I suggest.
