ctrl+alt+del gets taskmanager but i nolonger have tabs for network and sys process. All i get is a big white block with tasks in it!!!! Probably a simple fix but i cant find it. I can left click top and change to these tabs but cant go back. also to close TM i have to left click icon in task bar and close. This happened when i started a program that needed a network connection and started opening brousers one after another the another...... Had to kill all tasks to stop then re boot. Now the tabs are gone. I hate using this workaround i like the tabs.

Double-click in the top of that window (task manager) in the gray area, your tabs will return.

I learned the hard way on that exact problem myself, I never forgot how to fix it.

Double-clicking the titlebar (the <default> blue bar at the very top) will make it do that, like most Windows apps. The double-click behavior on the gray part is weird though, no doubt.
