Project Manager recommendations?

Hey everyone, I’ve run into a bit of a mess. I somehow managed to completely wreck my project manager and now it looks like this:

I can't switch between tabs inside the manager at all, and nothing works... I can't even close the program unless I go through the status bar down at the bottom.

😵 any help out there?...

Have you tried running a scan with your standard antivirus and Malwarebytes yet?

It’s not even about that... everything was running totally fine until my game just completely froze up on me. I went to open the Project manager, and I think I just panicked and started clicking around wildly—maybe 20 or 25 times in a frenzy? I must have hit something wrong because then all this stuff above just vanished... 😵

Hey man, just triple-click that greyed-out box and you should be good to go. Peace.

So, how do you get back to the old school Ctrl-Alt-Del screen on these new Windows updates?

Look, even after you hit ctrl+alt+del, it still gives you the option to open the project manager... don't see the issue here 🤷

The way XPU kicks the Project manager right to the front—that’s exactly how it should be!

Honestly, having to mash Ctrl-Shift-Esc every five minutes is just... 😵not a great workflow.

There’s no way to change that behavior.

When someone's logged into a Windows machine, hitting Ctrl+alt+Delete brings up Windows Security. It’s basically the GUI that lets you lock the PC, swap users, log out, flip your password, pull up the Windows Task Manager, or just kill the session by shutting down, restarting, or putting the thing to sleep. This combo always triggers Windows Security across every version of the Windows NT family, with the exception of Windows XP. Before Windows Vista, Windows Security used to be just a little dialog box—it didn't let you switch users back then, and it would display the login time, the current user, and the PC name. Once Windows Vista rolled around, Windows Security became full-screen.

What else can I say? Total amateurs.
