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.
