Hello! Everything is in the description, my task manager shuts down by itself, most of the time after 15 to 20 minutes, sometimes even less. Is it possible to fix this, and if so, how, please? Thank you.

Hello,
You can try to repair the file system and Windows.
Right-click on the Start button, with Windows PowerShell (Admin)
Type: CMD
Then type: chkdsk /f c:
Respond y for "yes" to the question, and restart Windows.
Then enter this command through CMD launched from Windows PowerShell (Admin)
sfc /scannow
Next, right-click on the Start button, use this command with Windows PowerShell (Admin)
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
If it prompts that a restart is needed for repairs to take effect, do so.
Otherwise, you can do a complete repair (longer) without data loss
Use the tool to create a minimum 8GB USB drive to update, repair, or reinstall Windows
https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/software-download/windows10
If you already have the Windows ISO file, you can create your USB drive with Rufus
Uninstall any installed antivirus or firewall and restart.
Click on the setup.exe in the USB drive.
If that doesn’t help, it's the task manager that has a systemic problem.
I use Process Explorer -
Thank you for your response ;) I thought about using Process Explorer, but the fact is that I have more or less regular freezes while gaming and during video playback (whether on a browser or software). I’ve done all sorts of tests (memtest86, checked the firmware of the BIOS and disks, swapped the RAM stick, swapped the GPU, and others that I can't remember) but the ONLY thing that makes the freezes disappear, which I discovered by chance (AND I KNOW WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY SOUND INCREDIBLE), is to open the task manager. The problem, as mentioned earlier, is that the task manager closes by itself after a while, so I have to restart it if I want to get rid of the freezes. All this to say that if I replace it with Process Explorer, I don't know if it will have the same effects as Windows Task Manager in terms of eliminating my freezes. I really don’t understand why these freezes stop appearing just by opening the task manager (considering it has no action; it's just informational), but that’s the case ^^.
And while I’m at it, I’m sharing the result of the dism:

Do you have the version of Win10 21H1?
Did you reinstall it?
You might have a malware or a task that hides when you open the task manager.
If you know a bit, try UnHackMe
You can also check with Autoruns, but the latest version has some bugs.
Look for Logon, Scheduled Tasks, and Services especially. -
Back up your data and favorites, and try either method 1 or 2
Method 1
Use the tool to create a minimum 8GB USB drive to update, repair, or reinstall Windows
https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/software-download/windows10
If you already have the Windows ISO file, you can create your USB drive with Rufus
Uninstall any installed antivirus or firewall and restart.
Click on setup.exe in the USB drive.
Method 2
Use the tool to create a minimum 8GB USB drive to update, repair, or reinstall Windows
https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/software-download/windows10/
If you already have the Windows ISO file, you can create your USB drive with Rufus
Start from the Boot Menu of the PC
https://www.malekal.com/liste-touches-acces-bios-boot-menu-constructeur/
If you don't see it, you can search on Google "[Brand Model] Boot Menu Key"
Choose "Custom Installation" (Not Upgrade)
No need to format if there is space; if there is data, it will be found in a Windows.old folder
Install on the same partition, or alternatively, delete all system partitions and create a new one (This will delete the data). -
Yes, version 21H1, I have done several scans and found nothing.
