Windows Task Manager problem

[ceemac]

The Applications tab of Windows Task Manager is not showing any of the offline running programs. When I check it after turning computer on this tab is blank. The first time I noticed this was the day after downloading MS Antispyware program - don't know if there is a connection or not. Any suggestions for repopulating the Applications tab? TIA

And what applications are running at the time?

The Applications tab only shows user started applications.

Start a user application and it will appear under the applications tab.

Programs running in the background (virus checkers, media controls, active connections etc.), will not be listed under this tab, but will be seen under the processes tab.
