Fix for Task Manager Users tab is Empty or user name field is blank

When you open Task Manager and select the users tab and you don’t see any users list. Normally, it should display the list of users logged on to the system.

Click Start, Run and type Services.msc and press enter

Locate Terminal Services and double-click it

Set the Startup type to Manual, and click Apply

Click the Start button to launch the service manually.

Locate Fast User Switching Compatibility service and and double-click it

Set the Startup type to Manual and click Apply

Click the Start button to launch the service manually

That’s it now you should be able to see the users list under users tab.
