The Explorer does not start, the Task Manager does not start, safe mode does not start. Wat to do?

I have recently been diagnosed with some sort of spyware / trojan in Avira and, apparently, he had removed. Apparently NOT.

Yesterday my laptop crashed and explorer.exe would not load at startup. The screen is all black with just the cursor. Windows Key + R is not raise Run and Alt + Ctrl + Del to appear the option lock and stop... but no task manager.

Safe mode has the same problem. I tried the option restore also, but all the restore points has mysteriously disappeared.

I wonder if there is no solution without a ridiculous amount of data backup and restoration of the entire system. Thanks in advance

Hello

You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
by tapping F8 as you start several times.

First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
field efforts.

Here's a video of one of them.

    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!

    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.

  • The Task Manager does not start. I get a message "task manager has been disabled by your administrator".

    Original title: I deleted a virus from my computer but the Task Manager does not start.  I get a message "task manager has been disabled by your administrator".  Can someone tell me how to fix this.

    Task Manager

    Too bad!  I thought about it.  It has been disabled in the registry.

  • the Task Manager does not start

    My laptop started running very slowly and I can't seem to start the Task Manager. Ctrl alt delete gives me the opportunity to start that I chose, but I don't get an inactive icon in my toolbar. I am running vista Home basic with service pack 1. When I restart or stop the laptop hangs at logging off-page. I also noticed that some of my applications/startup process are not start or appearing in my toolbar. I initially had Bit defender as my anti virus - but he exchanged for computer related. I had the problem with both.

    Hi Omanianne,

    Please read the following article from Microsoft Help on the Troubleshooting Task Manager.  Specifically, look at the sections of the Task Manager does not start, and How to enable the Task Manager if it has been disabled.  Based on the other symptoms you have described, it is very possible that you have some kind of virus.  Please make sure that your antivirus software is up to date and run a scan complete your system.  Please let us know if you have any problems or questions.  Thank you.

  • 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.

  • 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!
