• Firefox is running in the Task Manager, but the browser does not open.

  This happened after the most recent update v 27. Gateway win8 running, working every day before this update, doesn't work now.

  Thanks for this information. I tried to move that file saved passwords, but while the instructions are clear... because the instructions lead in the new profile only... not how to copy files from the old profile (or maybe they did and I'm not) I think I'll just skip this step and just manually enter them as visited Web sites ask for them. .

• 29 Firefox fails to come out properly and continues to run in the Task Manager.

  It is a continuation of a thread found here:
  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997448 by Compumind.

  I pointed out that I had the same experience, especially at the opening of the email links in Thunderbird. I reported also that forced me to go back to 28 FF.

  Moses responded by top wire and suggested:
  (1) download a fresh installer of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (2) the release of Firefox.

  (3) rename the folder

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox

  (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  I followed these instructions carefully but no joy. When installing 29 FF, not only refused to leave (using "exit") and continue to run in the Task Manager up until I killed him after the opening of links in Thunderbird, but I find that he refused to come out after a simple navigation and links.

  Moses had asked that I didn't answer in the original thread, so I re-post here.

  In my view, that there is a serious bug. With Firefox 28... no problem don't except a minor that I have indicated here:
  https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1002089

  Yet once I am obliged to 28 FF, although I miss the nice interface and security patches, I need to have a browser that works properly. My wife never even saw the Manager of the tasks before so that's the problem.

  In addition, "guesses" made with this post, the only other thing usual outside that I do, is to have a security policy about cookies (accept by default... I make exceptions for cookies I want to keep and have several that are "allow only for the session.") I also FF the value delete history of navigation at the exit, but that takes a fraction of a second.

  I look forward to when this matter can be addressed successfully and I am able to use 29 FF (and out properly... I can't wait for my wife to follow all of these instructions and it often close manually in the Manager of tasks... or what I want to do this.)

  Good luck for all Mozilla projects. Having installed 29 FF twice and then back return 28 twice, I'll wait and see how this plays out. Please don't send me the standard "start in safe mode", 'restart with disabled modules', 'reset Firefox' stuff (the last time that completely destroyed my browser). I don't think that is what is happening.

  Moses added that there is a problem with the e-mail notifications passing by, so take your time, friends.

  I think now (temporarily) this bug or problem has its roots in "history leaving Compensation."

  I made the leap after a few game with 29 PortableFirefox and reading the blog post linked here:

  [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../997918#answer-566755]

  .. .and installed 29 FF on my previous FF28 on my box. I unchecked the "clear history on exit" which was only to delete my history, not cookies or anything else, cor - el. My setting should not accept cookies unless I make an exception. Until the FF developers find a way to do this is functional, I'll just have to manually delete the history.

  Furthermore, John99, you want to maybe privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown set to 'False', not 'true' If you want to stop the automatic deletion of the history at the exit (attempt).

  I've been running for about 6 hours. without experiencing the bug 'suspended '. So, I can live with that for now until this bug is fixed. It should be fixed... browsers are supposed to be able to do things like that.

  On the other hand, I could find things go wrong... but so far I'm not having a problem.

  I for several hours and will let you know later if things change.

  Kind regards

• Google Update is running in the Task Manager, even if I don't have Google chrome open

  Original title: Googleupdate.exe * 32

  Windows 7 HP 64 bit.  (sp1)

  Google Update is running in the Task Manager, although I have not Google chrome opened.  My pc is running slowly, my network is slow.  Its bad enough I can't install programs via a disc more (which didn't need internet connection or speed), but to have windows and other services that run in the background continuously, who do not have something productive and I cannot control drives me crazy.    I need to disable or stop the services, tasks, programs that run several times and are not necessary.  Some do not stop little matter what I do or restart even if disabled.   I ran antivirus, malware software software and nothing shows ever.

  As an administrator:

  I disabled (via the services)

  1 Google update service (gupdatem)

  2 Googe Update service (gupdate)

  But I still Googleupdate.exe * 32 running.   I check and these both are disabled.  So is there a service control for programs and services 86 bit 64-bit and 32-bit?  And how to get there?  Or is it in software?

  How to disable the GoogleUpdate.exe. service * 32?

  Thank you

  Hello

• is it possible to set the level of priority permanently running in the Task Manager?

  Hello!

  1. My question is anyway to change the level of priority at all times by a program running in the Task Manager?
  • For example; I am using a software called xpadder that is for players for the games which are rather old and do not support the for windows xbox controller so I want to change the priority level of this software in the Task Manager, as I don't have to change the priority level from the top on normal or high normal etc whenever I run...

  So a little help would be really grateful :)

  Windows does not support this setting, sorry.

• The Task Manager will not open in Server 2003

  I'm troubleshooting why the Task Manager does not open in Server 2003.  This is an option when I right click on the taskbar, but when I click on it it does not open.  I try to type taskmgr.exe in the command run and it says "windows cannot find taskmgr.exe.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. "I found the .exe in the system32 folder, but the same message appears when I double click that.  I'm currently updating the pc with all the updates of windows that I can.  I tried to go to gpedit.msc in user configuration\administrative templates\system\ctrl + alt + del options but "remove Task Manager" not was set up be it, enabled or disabled.

  You have posted in forum for Windows Vista operating system. You need to display in place in one of the Server on Technet forums. The usual cause of not opening Task Manager is infection then you need to start troubleshooting with it.

• Firefox won't work, even if current running in the Task Manager.

  We have about 5 users having Firefox refuses to open. In the task manager the firefox.exe is running. When we run as administrator, it works sometimes, but runs faster. We tried the ESR 38.2 Firefox and that worked for a day or two. I deleted their profiles and installed Firefox fresh with no Add-ons, even a day or two later, it opens. We turned off hardware acceleration, no change. The only thing I can think that I have not done is to clean the registry.

  5 users = all on the same PC?
  Or what with workstations and profiles on a server?

  Any type of configuration customized for when Installer Firefox?

• 5 Lightroom does not start but shows that run in the Task Manager?

  Hello

  I use Lightroom 5.7 (64-bit) on a Win7 machine and it worked perfectly until a few days ago. Now for reasons unknown to me, it will now not start correctly. According to the Task Manager, run, but nothing appears on the screen. It shows as a running process with about 15 020 k. If I try and interrupt the process he won't stop until I've tried 4 or 5 times.

  I tried to rename the file to preview force it to build a new file and optimize the database and he ran once, said he was checking the catalog and then came back to the same behavior.

  If I can get it started I can return to a backup of database.

  Help appreciated.

  Peter

  Thanks for the comments.

  It turns out that Lightroom is not guilty.  The hard drive containing the catalog was not, and although tests seem to show like OK it was made only reading / writing at a fraction of the correct speed. If Lightroom was very time consuming to read it's own catalog.  It tooks 48 hours to exemplary concert 1 of data off the drive.

• Iexplore.exe process still running in the Task Manager

  I was see multiple iexplore.exe processes in the Task Manager when I'm not in IE, so to trouble shoot it I uninstalled IE, run several different scans/squared (which found nothing) and iexplore.exe is still appear in the Task Manager. I guess that it is some sort of virus since I uninstalled IE and it is always showing to run. No idea how to do the trick of it? I am running XP.

  IF IE 8 was present in the control panel > add or remove programs, then when you have uninstalled it from there, you have restored the previous version of Internet Explorer, in other words, IE 7.

  The best way to confirm this is to start IE and then click Help > topic.

  There is malware that disguises itself as iexplore.exe.  If you see iexplore.exe or Iexplore.exe in msconfig or in the Task Manager after Windows startup, but you did manually start Internet Explorer, you probably don't have a problem.
  What antivirus applications you scan with?

  If you haven't already done so, I suggest to do the following:

  Run a scan virus online with the eSet online scanner (may require a download if you are using a version of Internet Explorer)

  Download, install, update and run MalwareBytes AntiMalware (free)

  Download, install, update and run SUPERAntiSpyware

  You can uninstall all the latter after their use, if you wish.

• What is 'Quickactionbox' appliction? He is constantly provide in the list of applications that are running in the Task Manager on several occasions.

  

  Here you can see the problem. What is this thing?

  Hi Benjamin,

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  According to the description of the problem some application named QuickActionBox is running and showing in the Task Manager.

  If you think that this application is not known to you and you think that's not important, then you can uninstall it in the list of programs. But before you uninstall this application, I recommend to create a system restore point and try to uninstall the application so that if this application is important, then you can come back to this point again.

  To create restore point, you can see the article mentioned below.

  A restore point is a representation of a stored state of your computer's system files. You can use a restore point to restore system files from your computer to an earlier point in time. Restore points are created automatically by the restore of the system each week and when System Restore detects the beginning of a change to your computer, for example when you install a program or a driver.

  Create a restore point

  You can uninstall a program from your computer if you no longer use, or if you want to free up space on your hard drive. You can use the programs and features to uninstall programs or to change the configuration of the program by adding or removing certain options.

  Uninstall or change a program

  Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  Kind regards
