Removal of access to the Task Manager

Hello

I'm removing the user access taskmgr on Win7. I am connected to the PC as administrator using the user name of the administrator account.

Go to windows\system32\taskmgr, right-click and select Properties.

Click the Security tab.

I would like to add a username here, but it doesn't have a button 'Add', just 'Edit '. I click on edit and he opened another box, but the 'Add' and 'Remove' buttons are gray out and cannot be selected. Under "Permissions for users", I can not select the checkboxes.

How can I add a user and make these selectable options? Thank you.

Best regards Michael G.

    Hey MikePressman,

    The virus infestation rarely disables the Task Manager. Check if the DisableTaskMgr key exists in the registry editor.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following windows Help article.

    Back up the registry

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

    a. go to start and type regedit.exe.

    b. navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

    c. on the right side, find a REG_DWORD value called DisableTaskMgr.

    d. If the key exists, you can delete the key or double-click on it and set its value to 0 to enable the taskbar.

    e. close Regedit.exe

    f. restart the computer.

    Task Manager should be back now.

    Hello

    It would be almost impossible to remove Explorer.exe. If you have simply stopped the process Exlorer, you should be able to restart easily.

    Press Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC to start Task Manager.

    In the Task Manager, select file / new task (run...).

    Type Explorer.exe, and then click OK.

    You should see the taskbar and the desktop icons appear.

    Let us know the results.

  • The Task Manager does not appear, nothing happens when you select it

    It is very difficult to get help. Now, I'm not sure if this is the right forum and place to be. I need help to get the Task Manager which has disappeared from my computer. I click right on the taskbar, and then click on task manager and nothing appeared. Please advise on how to find him.

    Hi disillusionedvery,

    If you're not, try to login as an administrator and see if that makes a difference.  If so, we still have a problem, but at least we know the Task Manager is here.  If you have any other user accounts on the computer, try connecting them and see if they all have the same problem or if it is limited to one account.  Your profile may be damaged and if this is the case, post back and I will provide procedures about how to fix it.

    Try pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL all at the same time and click Task Manager on the screen that appear and see if it works to access the Task Manager.

    If this does not work, let's try the following:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    , Type sfc/scannow go and let it run.  It will scan and try to the difficulty of some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot.   Answer Yes and restart to run the program.  It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

    If it does not, then thanks for posting error messages in the event viewer on the Task Manager (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Look in the system section.

    If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

    Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

    Do you know when this problem started?  If it has been reasonably recent, try a restore of the system to a point in time BEFORE the problem started. If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

    If this does not work, you may be infected with malware.  Update and run a scan complete with any security software you use.  Then, try the following programs if you do not, because they can help. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx.  If you find something, especially something you can't delete, then after return.

    That's enough for now.  One of these procedures will be hopefully resolved or at least identify the problem.  If this isn't the case, please post back with the answers to the above questions, results of the tests and procedures that you did (including copies of errors if any found), your version of Windows (for example, 32-bit Vista Business SP2) and anything else that you think may be useful.  We will then decide where to go was from there, armed with more information and know what and did not work.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • I seem to have in dual processes that run in the Task Manager.

    In the Task Manager, I see the same process running several times.  Example: under user/Admin""(My name as) ","Local Service","Network Service"and"System"." "  These really duplicates and they slow down my system?

    Are they duplicates?  Perhaps.

    They slow down your computer?  Depends on what you're trying to do.  Anything that takes your resources take the pool available for other applications.  However, if you do not run low on resources (your CPU has a lot of horses for what is needed and you're not missing memory for most) - then it probably isn't as much of a downturn as just all of the resources actually get used.  You won't slow until that run out you of resources and try to open something else.

    If you worry about it?  N ° except if you have been compromised (you have a virus, worm, Trojan horse, malware any) and this is what is running - the system is as it should.  You are not running a single-user system - even if you are the only physical user.  Service accounts, etc. are there for the functionality of the machine as a whole.

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know usingGoogle (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

  • Windows 8 does not not log on screen, all black dekstop, explorer.exe, disc missing from the Task Manager

    Hey. I am a newbie in this forum. And I really like to make my PC more 'me' even though my parents and brother told me that my PC did not differ from how difficult. But, I still like my PC... ^ ^
    But my PC encountered a problem in my birthday (March 8, ehehe just FYI). Its a terrible birthday gift: (...) Oh, there. Its all started when I accidentally install a skin pack or win 7 in my PC 8 victory. There is nothing wrong with installing proggress except a notification which inform on win 7 Starter has not installed correctly. :( Well, I ignored, first. But after I have it reboot, my dekstop went all black but it still can open the Task Manager. And then I try the system restore. It did not work properly. The only thing made worse. Somehow, my "(le seul compte dans mon PC) DELETED account." In fact, the log on screen consist only of the ease of access and power button with backgorund optomistic. Where are the data of the user, I mean a place where we inserted the password? XC its make me super bad mood. And after some restoration system with various restore points, I restarted my PC in safe mode successfully. Yippie, its worked perfectly in safe mode. I created a new account in safe mode. I thought that my problem more but no. and the bad news is that there is only one user account (a new one) in the journal on the screen! It'll be better I have the new account very well work, but it didn't! The dekstop always all black with no taskbar and it's the same problem as the first.
    I am not really confusing. What should I do? Should I remove a skin pack safe mode? or reinstall win 8 in PC COUNTER? Or do something that you already know the guy?
    Help me. I am so irritated by this problem. In any case, I want to ask one last thing, you prefer something after me or just think it was a charitable organization? Well, I just want to know. And I'll do my best to show my appreciation once you help me. I am so TROUBLED even if today is my birthday! I want a big anniversary with neither party. But its seems no big birthday. Please, help me. His will probably be my MOST BEAUTIFUL GIFT to a person who I know in internet. If you need something detailed about my problem, ask me. I need your response. :") SURE ME MY CRAZY MOM, IF SHE KNEW IF I AM WRONG IN MY PC AGAIN.

    Oh, there. The explorer.exe does not start in normal mode, but it works fine in safe mode. Also, I discovered that the disc is missing from the Task Manager. :) Help?

    Wish you a very happy birthday, Damaris.

    Of course, I can understand the situation you're in right now, and it's a shame. I will be happy to answer your query and try my best to offer my help as a gift for your birthday.

    Let me ask you;

    1. What happened when you tried the system restore?
    2. What was the last time that the computer worked well?
    3. What security software is installed on the computer?
    4. Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?

    The issue may be due to any dispute of third party software, virus or any system or missing files / corruption. Let's try the methods below and check the status.

    Method 1: Since you are able to start the computer in safe mode without any mistake, I you suggest to start the computer in safe mode and then perform the clean boot to avoid software conflicts.

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode (as you are able to start the computer in safe mode with the steps you tried).

    Step 2: Perform the clean boot

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

    Method 2: Run Microsoft Safety Scanner

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    Microsoft safety scanner

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Note: Data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 3: Run the tool File Checker system in case where any system files are missing or corrupted.

    System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

    Enter in the right edge of the screen and then click on Search. Or, if you use a mouse, point to the corner bottom right of the screen, then click on Search. Type the command prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    Note: Not close this command prompt window until the audit is 100% full. The results of the analysis will be posted when this process is completed.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.
