    I often use Task Manager to close unnecesary processes prior to playing resource-intensive games. Tonight I right clicked on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and clicked on Task Manager. Instead of opening the usual way, I got this graph that showed cpu usage. I remember before there being several tabs to choose from in Task Manager, with cpu usage being one of them. Now, there are no other tabs to click on to get to applications or processes. All I can do now is just close the cpu usage graph. What has happened and how do I get Task Manager to go back to the way it used to be?

    Hello Bucksone,

    Task Manager is running in Tiny Footprint mode.

    Double-click the top border of TM'S window and it should return to the full display mode.
    My guess is that you double clicked on the top border when TM was in full display mode.
