Automation Studio Task Manager opens and closes after a few seconds. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but it didn’t work. I even formatted my PC, but it still didn’t help. I don’t understand why. How can I fix this?

This looks to me like a system issue (PC, OS, and rights). I agree with Valerio that from a Community point of view, we cannot help you further, so please contact local support.
