Two methods (workaround) standard users can use to start Task Manager without elevation (or administrator access) on Windows 10

#1: Use a 3rd party Task Manager such as Process Explorer (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processexplorer.aspx) or Process Hacker (http://processhacker.sourceforge.net/).

#2: Using this workaround:

1: Open a command prompt
2: Type "set __compat_layer=runasinvoker" (without the quotes) and hit enter.
3: Type "taskmgr.exe" and hit enter.

You might create a batch file "task manager.cmd" and create a shortcut on desktop to run this batch
