Try pressing [Windows]+R and type in explorer.exe and run it.
If your task managerisn't working, I think you have a virus. Try an online scanner like Mcafee or something. Also, try to scan using a good Anti-spyware/malware.

If everything seems clean and no viruses are detected, try to run "sfc /scannow" in the command prompt. It may repair any files which are corrupt.

One more thing, keep in mind that no one here is forced in any way to answer things. It's just that many old and useful members have left the forum. (And I'm too lazy to post). And the forum has so many bugs that it has scared away half the members at tleast. Dig the Chit-Chat section for more details about this ongoing rebellion.
