Hi,
More likely that it's blocked, not that it's missing. Set Folder
Options/View in the Control Panel to see hidden and system files, then check
under C:\Windows\system32 for taskmgr.exe. If it's there, then some part of
the bug is likely still active and blocking Task Manager from loading.
If it's missing, then open an elevated command prompt (start/search CMD,
right click the link and choose 'run as administrator') and run "sfc
/scannow" from the prompt.
If it's not, you need to revisit the cleanup steps you took.
