Stop & disappeared from the Task Manager options

In my Start menu, the small button that allow you to stop, restart, etc. disappeared, and now there is only the option to lock the computer. In addition, when pressing Ctrl Alt Del, the only option, he must switch users, others such as the Task Manager disappeared.

I didn't have any changes, I started the computer and they were gone.

    What is system restore?
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

    Try reinstalling the camera driver. On my previous Asus link there is a click to download on that link. You must communicate your model number or click on 'Auto-Detection model '.

    There is also a forum on the Asus Support link, you can try to ask your questions here.

    You can also try the update of the BIOS available on the download link and then check if the unit is on.

  • Latitude E5470 TPM has disappeared from the Device Manager

    At my employer, we had several problems with the TPM secure disappears from the Device Manager.

    This brings us to not be able to reactivate bit-locker.

    We would be the image the device with Windows 7 company.

    We had this happen with several machines who did and does not have dealt with windows updates.

    Same thing with Dell drivers and BIOS treated and untreated.

    I ran tool HWINFO and it lists the TPM with a memory address something like 0000FED4000 but I can't find that in the Device Manager or msinfo32.

    I have went to the BIOS and turn off the TPM and it turned on and activated it.

    I reloaded the BIOS firmware.

    If recreate us the image on laptops the TPM appears in the Manager of devices as planned so I don't think this as a problem with the motherboard.

    Curiously, although we had some motherboards replaced and the TPM is displayed.

    I feel that replacing the motherboard is the solution to this question we can restore the functionality with a new image or reload the operating system from scratch. But that does not satisfy the risk of the issue and already its appearance again.

    I searched for weeks a solution to this problem, but I came up short.

    I am sure that others have this problem.

    With all the processed drivers and windows updates treatment it does not solve the problem.

    Think you I'm missing?

    Thank you for taking the time to look into it.

  • 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.

  • Bluetooth has disappeared from the Device Manager

    My computer does not detect bluetooth devices. I went to the bluetooth menu and unchecked and rechecked the boxes 'discovery' and so on. However, when I hit apply, the window became unresponsive and I forced to close. When I tried to repeat this, when you type apply I get a Bluetooth Service error message saying my device is disconnected (my bluetooth adapter is built-in). I went to the Device Manager and disabled the Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator and generic adapter Microsoft to try to restart them. However, instead of just disabling, the owner made them disappear from the list (even show hidden devices will not bring them back). Now I have no bluetooth, the 'other' device any device and can not use bluetooth. I tried everything I can think and find on the net (reboot), update, etc.. Help, please!

  • Outlook stops responding. The Task Manager is unable to stop it. Then, the Task Manager is not responding. What is the problem

    My Dell 1720 runs on Windows Visate Home Premium. Sometimes, Outlook stops responding and will not recover. I launch the Task Manager to stop the program. He is unable to stop Outlook. After several attempts, the Task Manager is no longer in effect. Sometimes I get the message that Windows Explorer has stopped working. What is the problem please?
    George

    Hi George,.

    3rd party applications and malware are often cause for this. Have you tried the clean boot such as suggested above (that isolates the background application that could cause the problem)? Also try to run a full scan with your antivirus.

  • Cannot start Explorer from the Task Manager shell, if another program is already specified as shell.

    Hey people.
    The company that I work uses Windows XP to run some software owners. Our software is configured to run as nt\currentversion\winlogon\ HKLM\microsoft\windows shell shell. I tried setting the shell two our product and random software like messenger or just the C drive, and every time when you use "run" of the Task Manager to open the explorer.exe shell, my documents will be opened instead of other things.
    It will open my documents instead of the shell until I have two close open windows, excluded the Task Manager and set the entrance to Shell back to "Explorer.exe".
    This problem persists between the platforms, and I've tried everything I can think of.
    Any help will be great.

  • OfficeJet 7610 Printer Wizard option disappears from the list of options

    After having initially installing my 7610, clicking the printer from devices and printers would bring a window with an image of the printer up and four options - Assistant printer, see what's printing, set preferences, and customize your printer. Today, there was a message in the upper part of the window indicating there was an update to be applied, so I said to apply. After the update is complete, the window has changed and now there are only three options - Printer Wizard disappeared. It's the same thing with a 6500 printer on my network.

    I use the Printer Wizard to manage all my printers and especially to control scanning. I tried to uninstall all the drivers, then by downloading a new copy of the full of HP and reinstalling software, but the option is still missing. HP did move it somewhere else and not tell anyone?

  • Renesas USB3.0 Host Controller disappears from the Device Manager

    I recently installed a USB3.0 PCI-E card in my computer (Renesas uPD720200 USB3). The problem I have is that the host controller keeps endangered since the Device Manager, and then I can't use the USB ports. I use Windows 7 64-bit. It disappears usually when I stopped for an evening and then start up the next day and he disappeared. If I just have it reboot normally disappears, but sometimes remains. If I leave the computer and let it go to sleep, when I wake up, the host controller has disappeared. I tried some troubleshooting steps are based on research on google and the answers to this question: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/renesas-usb-30-driver-continuous-uninstalls-from/ac6b1137-1778-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5?auth=1&page=2

    If I uninstall all controllers USB host and reboot, the host controller reappears, but only temporarily. The next time I start up it went again and I have to repeat the process (uninstall all host controllers and restart).
    Once or twice I could make it reappear after running the utility of hardware troubleshooting (Panel-> Troubleshooting-> Hardware and Sound-> configure a device), but it is not reliable and I'm usually better off just uninstall all host controllers and reboot. Regardless of if it works, the store always gives me the message "hardware changes may not have been detected", and when I look at the details it says "configured to never install drivers from Windows Update. " There is no question."
    I've updated the driver. I downloaded the Version 2.1.28.1 of the Intel Download Center (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/confirm.aspx?httpDown=http://downloadmirror.intel.com/19880/eng/USB3.0_allOS_2.1.28.1_PV.exe&lang=eng&Dwnldid=19880). It seemed to install fine, but Device Manager shows the driver version is 2.1.28.0. Repeat the installation produces the same result.
    I updated the Firmware (http://www.station-drivers.com/page/renesas.htm) and that seems to work very well, but didn't had no bearing on my problem.
    I would be really grateful for any help or suggestion.

  • Satelltie M40X: NIC disappears from the Device Manager

    I have a Satellite M40X with Windows XP SP2 and my card (Realtek gigabit) network is no longer seen by Windows (or Linux: test performed with a Ubuntu live CD).

    The lan card is not seen by Toshiba HW Setup. I disappeared 2 days ago, was back yesterday that a d is not present today...
    LAN card is enabled in the BIOS.

    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    The PC is 13 months (out of warranty Toshiba...)

    Some registry keys are damaged and so the LAN card is not visible in the Device Manager (very possible) or the LAN card is damage (more)

    I think you should try to reinstall the operating system. If after installing new network card is not visible in device (such as unknown device or network card) Manager then it s a bad material work and in my opinion, that the replacement or repair will help.
