How do I open task manager on Windows 10 more than once?

You mean running multiple instances of task manager at once? I don't think there is a way to do that

Or do you mean how can you open it again after closing it? If thats what you meant you can open it by pressing control shift escape (or control alt delete and click 'task manager')

I want to have multiple instances open at the same time, side by side so I can see each thing together.

On the performance tab, select cpu for starters.
At the bottom of the task manager main display for cpu, you can click to open resource manager in a separate window.

Then go back to task manager and select disk, for example.
At the bottom. again open resource manager and you will get a second window with details on disk.
Ditto for ram and ethernet.

process explorer is task manager on steroids. it shows much more than task manager. and it will allow you to open multiple windows of it if you wish. just run the exe file as many times as you wish. should show you what you need to see

You can't open more than one instance of Task Manager. It's by design.

Ya well there needs to be some kind of work around to this where it can be open more than once. I want someone to tell me how to open it more than once. Dont just say "You can't" or "not possible". That doesn't help. I want to open task manager more than once

You won't get very far wanting something that is impossible. No matter how much you want it.

What are you trying to achieve with having it open twice and maybe there is another solution.

This might work but its written for win 7 and hasn't been updated in 10 years - https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/61970/Running-multiple-instances-of-Task-Manager

no guarantees it will.
