Fixed: Task Manager Replaced by Sysinternals Process Explorer
I frequently benefit from Microsoft Sysinternals tools like Process Explorer (ProcExp64.exe). One of the features is the ability to replace the Task Manager Default with Process explorer.

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (1709) Deprecated Features – PowerShell 2.0 is EOL among others
Fall Created Update (2017 RS3 1709) will be removing some more security holes. I wonder if some of these are in response to the SMB1 fiasco (WannaCry for example). TLS RC4 ciphers.
