The Task Manager does not work properly. Need reinstall - if so, how can I do this?

I am running Windows 7 (64 bit) on a Sony Vaio laptop. The task manager has been working well for the past 2 years, but now when I run the only screen that appears is the list of the process window. I can't see and end user applications.

How can I get the Task Manager works correctly?

You will have to perhaps accidentally switched tiny footprint mode.

    Hi Anthony,.

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft Community forum.

    We understand that you aren't able to open the taskbar. We appreciate the steps of troubleshooting that you tried it on the computer. We would be happy to help you. This could cause because of system files corrupted on your computer.
     
    1. Since when are you facing this problem?
    2. don't you make changes to the computer?

    Try the following methods:

    Method 1:

    -Press on the Windows key + R

    -Type taskmgr

    Check if you are able to access Task Manager

    Method 2:

    -Press Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC key

    Check if you are able to access Task Manager

     

    Method 3:

    Run the 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.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

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

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    Refer (to repair manually corrupted files, see the details of the File Checker process system to find the corrupted file and then manually replace the corrupted file with a known good copy of the file)

    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.

  • My task manager does not work

    I have not been able to get my task manager to work for weeks.  I ran all virus scan, malware bites, ccleaner reg scan and scan Norton 360 and I have not been able very well the problem, I still ran HJT and have not been able to find or figure out what to do.

    The KB555480 is correct (it might work sometimes perhaps) If you have XP Pro and if you do make a mistake, change the registry and if that is your only problem, but it is unlikely in the case of a malware infection.  He also doesn't correct the symptom of the problem and does not really solve the actual problem.

    You get an error message on the Task Manager is disabled, or you see just a brief flash of the hourglass?

    If no error message and Yes don't brief hourglass, do this first part:

    Sounds like malicious software prepares and he doesn't want you can use the Task Manager to find and remove it.  He knows what you are going to use and do not run these tools.  He wants you to reinstall your XP instead.

    You can fool the malware (and then fix it).

    Using Explorer, go to the c:\windows\system32 folder and locate taskmgr.exe.

    Copy the taskmgr.exe file and rename the copy something malicious software will not recognize.  I like to call the copy:

    c:\windows\system32\jose.exe

    Double-click on jose.exe and see if the Windows Task Manager window opens.

    If the Task Manager opens, the problem is the malware won't let the taskmgr.exe a running process, but he does not know jose.exe as a process (it could well one day that), then you just have to outsmart it.

    Usually, there are a few other things that also don't work you would like to know later, so I recommend you do this:

    Reduce the risk of malware by running some scans.

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/

    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

    If you receive a message that the task manager has been disabled, you need to fix it with the following:

    If your task manager is afflicted in this way, there are probably many other things which do not too much that you don't know yet - as the registry, the system restore and the command prompt Editor, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

    Unless you have disabled these tools on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and delete, so that the malware disables you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running.

    All malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system.

    The malware will be happy to fool into thinking you have to so something drastic to fix your system - how to use a System Restore Point, perform a repair, or even to reinstall XP from scratch.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

    You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

    No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system were on the end (you or an administrator has made them) or some malware, if analysis tools let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).  If your system contains afflictions like these, your malicious software tools have already failed to protect your system anyway.

    The Manager of difficult tasks, Command Prompt, the registry editor and the restoration of the system at a time (if they need fixing or not).  The process is the same for XP Home and XP Pro.

    These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run.

    Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

    Open Notepad to create a new text file:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    notebook

    Copy and paste the following lines in bold text in the new Notepad file.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "DisableRegistryTools" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
    "DisableCMD" = -.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\]
    "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
    [HKEY_USERS\.default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
    "DisableCAD" = DWORD: 00000000
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
    "DisableConfig" = -.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
    "DisableSR" = -.

    Save the new text file with the extension .reg on your desktop with a name, you can remember, something like:

    enableit.reg

    After you save the file, close Notepad.

    Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

    Answer Yes to the following question: are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

    If you see a message that the registry editor has also been disabled, we will need to enable it first (differently).

    You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

    Depending on the circumstances, your tools can work right away, but in order to avoid the 'does rebooting your system?' question later, go ahead and reboot your system and test it.

    Allow the tools in this way only solves the symptom of malware infection, but does not solve the real problem (the infection) so you're not quite done yet - your system might still be infected.

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems.

    Here are some possible solutions to this problem of fan.

    1. When you have installed a base installation of MS (not the Toshiba Recovery CD) you need to install the Toshiba Power Saver and others utilities from the CD tools & utilities. The energy saver is responsible for the control of the fan.

  • The Task Manager is not working

    Original title: MANAGER of the TASKS DOENSN can't WORK

    THE DOENSN CAN'T WORK TASK MANAGER

    What exactly does "Does not WORK"?

    You see one of these messages:

    The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The task manager has been disabled by group policy.

    Or nothing seems to happen when you call the Task Manager?

    Some malicious software is aware of the methods you are most likely to use to find and remove it (invites the Task Manager, System Restore, command, Internet, Google, etc.) and prevents things from work.

    The malware does not allows you to use things like the Task Manager to find and remove, so it prevents them from becoming a process running on the system and the process will not start or the process will be completed as soon as it is launched.

    The malware is happier when he let you think you need to use system restore, a repair install or reinstall your XP from scratch to fix your system when none of this is necessary.

    You can fool the malware (and then fix it).

    Assuming that your Windows is installed on your drive C, using Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32 and locate taskmgr.exe.

    Copy the taskmgr.exe file and rename the copy something malicious software will not recognize.  I like to call the copy:

    c:\windows\system32\jose.exe

    Double-click on jose.exe and see if the Windows Task Manager window opens now.

    The problem is the malware won't let the taskmgr.exe a running process, but he does not know jose.exe as a process running as well
    beat you all (I have a feeling that he will well a day on jose.exe).

    Will not 'fix' your task manager, but at least you will know whether or not the Task Manager mechanism works (taskmgr.exe still not start properly).  If you try to remove some malware and the need to use the Task Manager, you can simply launch jose.exe (double-click) instead, but will be still infected your system.

    Usually, there are a few other things that also don't work you would like to know later, so I recommend you do this:

    Reduce the risk of malware by running some scans.

    Download, install, update, and make at least a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, restart, test your task manager and we can repair any other pending issues.

    If things look good, you can delete the c:\windows\system32\jose.exe file (sorry, Jose).

  • 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!
