Open Task Manager and double-click anywhere on the top Window border.

Somehow, you managed to convert Task Manager to run in "Tiny Footprint Mode".

When I press <CTRL> <ALT> <DEL> to go to the task manager, I get the task

manager but the menu options are not available as well as the tabs.

 

How can I get it back?

 

Thank you.

You're running in what's called "Small Footprint Mode." To change back

and forth from this mode to regular mode, just double-click on the

border.

 

Undoubtedly, you did this by accident.

Double-click a blank spot to exit small footprint mode.
