Task Manager and Command Prompt are broken

Today, I installed a simple game from itch.io and, as a result, I got multiple viruses, blocked by Windows Defender. That seems unusual, as the game is a student game from the school I attended; there's no need to be concerned.

I tried to uninstall the game: when finding it in Windows Apps and pressing Uninstall, I think it mentioned dw20.exe as the program that would be uninstalled. I didn't pay attention as I just wanted to get rid of it.

I never manage to uninstall the game properly. I just delete files from Programs

As a result, my PC is working correctly, BUT Task Manager, Command Prompt, and other systems are broken.

  • Ctrl + Alt + Suppr -> Task Manager -> It opens the System32 file
  • Command Prompt -> Doesn't open from the shortcut. If I click on it from the System32 folder (cmd.exe), it works, but if I open it as Administrator, dw20.exe tries to execute. If I say yes, nothing happens, and the Command Prompt remains closed.
  • Same for Task Manager opened with "taskmgr.exe" in System32 (no Admin mod)
  • Their icons are broken. Folder Explorer icon is also broken but works as normal.

So... :

- I tried using Command Prompt from Safe Mode (Pressing Shift when starting the computer). I typed "sfc /scannow". Errors were found and "fixed" but when restarting the computer, nothing changed.

- I asked Gemini and tried other things :

  • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth ->doesn't work ; Cleanup-Image isn't found
  • reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\taskmgr.exe" /f ->the system can't find it

What can I do? Besides that, everything (afaik) works correctly.

Thanks!

Un livre de blagues de mon enfance

I'm French. Between 2007 and 2011, my dad and I used to read a little book of jokes that I’d really love to find again.

Inside, there were about ten jokes illustrated as comic strips (or drawings with text next to them—I’m not entirely sure anymore). Each joke spanned a few pages, and I remember that the color orange was predominant (orange, white, and black).

I definitely remember two jokes from that book:

- The camel joke. I’m convinced the text for this one starts with: “A man is walking through the desert; he’s starving and dying of thirst.” Then he comes across a Tuareg who sells him a camel and explains that to make it walk, you have to say “Oof”; to trot, “Oof Oof”; and to gallop, “Oof Oof Oof.” The man sets off and starts walking, then trotting, then galloping. Suddenly, a huge crevice looms ahead of him; he doesn’t know how to stop, so he shouts, “Stop!!” The camel stops. I remember that the last line was, “The man was very scared; he said, ‘Oof.’”

- The baker’s joke. It’s the story of a man who’s just opened his bakery and decides to check out the other bakeries on the street to get an idea for a name. The first one is called “The Best Bakery in Town.” The second, “The Best Bakery in France.” The third one is “The Best Bakery on Earth.”

I'm not too sure about the order of magnitude anymore—there might be a fourth one with “of the universe.” Then, the man goes back to his shop and, all excited, names his bakery “The Best Bakery on the Street”!

That's it. That's pretty much all. The book is in French, was quite small, almost square as I recall. The illustrations were pretty cartoonish.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Un livre de blagues de mon enfance

Entre 2007 et 2011, je lisais avec mon père un petit livre de blagues que j'aimerais beaucoup retrouver.

Dedans, on retrouvait une dizaine de blagues illustrées sous forme de bande dessinée (ou dessin et texte à côté, je ne suis plus très sûr). Chaque blague durait quelques pages et je me souviens que la couleur orange était prédominante (genre orange, blanc et noir).

Je me souviens pour sûr de 2 blagues présentes dans ce livre :

- La blague du chameau. Je suis persuadé que le texte de celle-ci commence par : "Un homme marche dans le désert, il meurt de faim et de soif". Ensuite, il croise un touareg qui lui vend un chameau et lui explique que pour le faire avancer, il faut dire "Ouf", pour trotter "Ouf Ouf" et pour galoper "Ouf Ouf Ouf". L'homme part et commence à aller au pas puis trot puis galop. Soudain, une grande crevasse se tient devant lui, il ne sait pas comment s'arrêter et crie "Stop !!". Le chameau s'arrête. Je me souviens que la dernière phrase était "L'homme a eu très peur, il dit "Ouf".

- La blague du boulanger. C'est l'histoire d'un homme qui vient d'ouvrir sa boulangerie et qui décide d'aller voir les autres boulangeries de la rue pour trouver une idée de nom. La première s'appelle "La meilleure boulangerie de la ville". La deuxième "La meilleure boulangerie de France". La troisième "La meilleure boulangerie de la Terre". Je ne suis plus trop sûr des ordres de grandeur, il y en a peut-être une quatrième avec "de l'univers". Ensuite, l'homme revient à son magasin et tout content, il nomme sa boulangerie "La meilleure boulangerie de la rue" !

Voilà. C'est à peu près tout. Le format du livre était assez petit, presque carré dans mon souvenir. Les dessins étaient assez cartoons.

Merci d'avance pour votre aide !
