Catch 22 puzzle. Trapped out of a running App. Better than crossword.
I just can't leave it alone and it's an aside to the graphics problem, so given it's a great puzzle I've moved it here. But up till now it's got me beat.
"The ASUS GPU Tweak". Two rather over-the-top menus than load with the Nvidia software. They display on start up and are interesting but fill half the Desktop, so I set it to 'minimalise' on start. Now, if I try to open it, I get asked, "Do you want to allow this App to make changes to . . ." etc. I say Yes, only to be told, "It's already running". And so it is. Task manager tells me so. So HTF do I open it?
Right now, after thirty minutes, (make that an hour now), uninstall and reload is the only thing I can come up with, but again, I don't like to be beaten. Surely there has to be a way to make a running program open to normal size so that I can uncheck the boxes. But where is it, and what's it doing there? So many new options in the new Task Manager, and indeed in W10 in general, but not one brings the busy pair of boxes up. Right click and masses of options that just might take you somewhere. Yeh, back to the blank screen and the thing on the Task Bar. Double
There has to be a way to make it reveal its inner workings. Doesn't there.

Could I have missed that??!! But on what to I do it? 
Being in my optimist mode, I tried it on the exe-file, Task Bar, the Icon and the Start Menu - even in the sub-sub menus. Every time I get taken to the User Account Control box and then to the "It's already running" box.
It's hard to believe a company like ASUS would lead folk into a trap from which there was no return.
Must do some work, but will try to beat it later.

I don't believe it!!!!!!!
Finally, I give in. Go to uninstall it. "Please turn off the monitor before uninstalling." By please, it meant it wouldn't be allowed.
I confess to a sledgehammer procedure. Kill it by End Task in Task Manager and only then would it let me Delete the file. Reinstall from DVD. Cheating I know. But I was beat.
