All games won't run on Windows 10, and Task Manager freezes
Since upgrading to Windows 10, none of my games will launch, and Task Manager freezes or becomes completely unresponsive when I try to open it. I'd like to know the possible causes.

Try opening Task Manager with minimal load:
Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
If it opens briefly before freezing, look at:
Performance tab → CPU, Memory, Disk usage
If disk shows 100% but low read/write speeds, this often points to a failing drive or driver issue.
Boot into Safe Mode, use the DDU tool to completely uninstall the graphics card driver, then reinstall it, and run `sfc /scannow` to repair system files.
I recommend to check the system resources such as memory.
It may be possible the games you're trying to run consume all the memory, a portion of that may not available for other programs to function.
