I lost my PC Task Manager.

I seem to have lost a little of my pc lately, that is to say, the Task Manager, and I used to have a small symbol of solute in bottom left of my screen which gave me information on start times when I started my pc

original title: I seem to have lost lately, a few things from my pc

Yes painter, this is due since you had the virus. Please check if you have loaded on your computer by searching the string to search for in C:\windows is TASKMAN.exe
Make sure that you have one in C:\windows and C:\windows\system32\
If you have one in dllcache, but not in windows and system32, then you can safely copy it from there.

Now your emblem, must have been taken out of its autorun entry. To do this, you open your program and in the settings to run again at startup.

You need to run a SFC/scannow with your cd of windows in your drive, if you have no taskman.exe on your system.

If taskman.exe is intact in all these places listed, go to autoruns, and check the image File Execution Options; This is the tab away an image. If your task manager is there another program is probably try to run when you try to start the Task Manager, and that the entry would be shown there.

If there is no entry there either then your shortcut of ctrl alt del combo has been hijacked. If please try running taskman or open it from its location in windows.

Here is a different and much more advanced and handy taskman called procexp.
It is also from sysinternals as tool of autorun.

PROCEXP

  • The Task Manager is the only thing that works on my computer

    Original title : NOT FUNCTIONING IT - my fault.

    HELLLLLLLLLP!  The site I had sat said that I was running low on RAM (even if my count says otherwise)... Then, in the Task Manager, I started to delete what I THOUGHT was not essential.  But now I've lost EVERYTHING on my desk!  No internet access, no access to my email, no access to the function of my own computer!  (Start, search, System Tools, etc.).  The ONLY way I could even make this announcement, is to use the Task Manager.  It seems to be the ONLY thing working on my computer everything!)  Help, please!

    Have you tried booting in safe mode? If it does not start last good test Configuration.

    In any case, I hope that all the system processes running after logging in to your user account.

    Try this:
    1. go to the performance tab and click on it.
    2 type Explorer or explorer.exe and press on enter and await the results.

    Maybe the Explorer just doesn't work.

  • the Task Manager is stripped, without tab, only treats the page

    Out of nowhere, my task manager has lost most of its capabilities. It shows without title bar with gadget close, no menus, no selection, no tab at the top, just one pane with the running applications and the usual end task, switch, and new task buttons.
    I can't see the performance of the system, process, services, users, nothing!
    The only way to close it is to the right, click the button in the taskbar. How can I fix this?

    Around the same time, I lost the new file selection in the context menu.

  • Not measured Task Manager startup items

    Hi, I have problems with a very slow reboot on my desk.

    My research of breakdowns, watching the tab to start the Task Manager.  All but 2 of them are as "steps".  I know that all programs start (finally) because they appear on the taskbar etc.

    I have fun just happened to be LURKING

    Your problem is related to the hard drive 0 maxing out.  It is responsible for about 180 seconds slow.

    I would start by running chkdsk and then optimize the disk

    CHKDSK /F /R
    CHKDSK WARNING: while running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found all the data available in this area could be lost so as always back up your data.
    Run CHKDSK /R /F from a high command (run as administrator).
    Do this for each hard drive on your system.
    When he tells you, he cannot do at the moment – and ask you if you do not want to do it at the next reset - answer Y (for Yes) and press ENTER.

    Then restart and let the test to run.

  • Firefox is running in the Task Manager, but only opens a window.

    I can't get Firefox to open a window. I tried firefox-p (Profile Manager) and firefox-safe (safe mode), but nothing works to open a window. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but that solves nothing. I haven't changed anything recently, so perhaps there is a update (?) Here's what happens:

    I try to start Firefox, and the Task Manager indicates that Firefox is running. It employs about 32 k of memory, but the window never opens.

    I click Firefox again. Manager tasks indicates 2 Firefox process now. The second is to use about 4 k of memory. Running Firefox repeatedly adds additional tasks to Firefox, each using about 4 k of memory.

    After about a minute, the additional tasks of Firefox (the 4 k ones) start closing 1 by 1. I am now down to only 2 Firefox process, using 32 k and 4 k of memory, respectively. As far as I know, these processes will last forever, until I have shut them down manually. If I run Firefox again without closing the current process, it creates another 4 k process, which finally closes itself. If I close all the processes manually, I can start over from scratch. Meanwhile, Firefox never opens a window, or give a clue showing that it is running, with the exception of the processes listed in the Manager tasks.

    I deleted the one in my USER folder without change. There are a couple more in various C:\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles files, so I deleted those too, without change.

    It's a custom location. Normally, the profiles are under AppData\Roaming, I think you already know. There is a shortcut:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\
    

    This folder must contain a profiles.ini file (.ini file extension may be hidden), which shows the names and paths to your profile folder (s). If you check in a text editor such as Notepad, this file contains sound data?

    If this started right after an update, it could be a problem with security software, put an end to the commissioning (rules of program control) or program files has been corrupted.

    You can check your firewall and other security software for program restrictions.

    To meet possible corrupt files, I suggest:

    Clean reinstall it

    We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (no incompatible or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

    (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 43.0 https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

    (C) to rename the folder of the program as follows:

    (Windows 64-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    

    (Windows 32-bit folder names)

    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    

    TO

    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    

    (D) to run the installation program that you downloaded in step (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

    A cleanly reinstalled Firefox starts up normally?

    Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

    • \OldFirefox\Plugins
    • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins
  • After the update 42, partial load in memory (Task Manager), but the software antivirus keeps thread bound to perform but only loads 2nd & subsequent.

    Manager tasks shows Firefox loaded as a service, but a of threads waiting to complete. There is no application shown in the Task Manager (which seems reasonable that Firefox has not loaded).
    There is no error message. The 'circle of rotation of microsoft"is going for a few seconds, then disappears as if the schedule.
    It happens after 2nd & subsequent charges after reboot. Firefox seems to work the first time after reboot. It happened only after upgrade to 42. Clean installation makes no difference. Chrome works OK
    Worked well up until the 42 update. Tried to do a clean install with the box to inform Mozilla erased.
    Maybe Firefox started using a port that is blocked by the antivirus? I don't get no logging for the virus scanner showing what it to be blocked. A comprehensive analysis reveals nothing.
    Operating system is Windows 10 (64-bit)

    Abandoned trying to actually find what is actually happening. Changed software virus scanner.
    I think (and this is just a guess) is that to integrate with windows update update 42 change the output method to the telemetry file the antivirus does not. It is perhaps that the antivirus cannot manage that file or property, but it does not record the fact, a failure of the antivirus.
    There is a hint of doubt in my mind when an upgrade causes a system that works to fail in a non traceable method.

  • Plugin container keeps constantly appearing and disappearing in my task manager, causing the major downturn and preventing loading videos. Help?

    When you go to many websites, including N4G.com and Royalroadl.com, my browser will slow down suddenly, and container plugin firefox will Flash quickly on and off tension in my task manager, too fast to turn it off manually.
    The only way to solve this problem, so far, has been to stop the page from loading before a certain point.

    This also prevents many videos loading and the major slowdown. He has only started to happen after I have updated to the latest version of Firefox, and disabling all plug-ins and extensions did not resolve the issue.

    My current version is 40.0.3.
    Someone knows how to easily return to the most recent version without problems?

    Edit: Both, I found the solution!

    I went into the plug-ins for Firefox, went into the menu Options for the Shockwave Flash plug-in and disabled Protected Mode.

    For some stupid reason, Protected Mode was the thing causing videos blocked and slowdown.

    Spread this solution for anyone with similar problems, please!

  • 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?
