The Task Manager will not open in Server 2003

I'm troubleshooting why the Task Manager does not open in Server 2003.  This is an option when I right click on the taskbar, but when I click on it it does not open.  I try to type taskmgr.exe in the command run and it says "windows cannot find taskmgr.exe.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. "I found the .exe in the system32 folder, but the same message appears when I double click that.  I'm currently updating the pc with all the updates of windows that I can.  I tried to go to gpedit.msc in user configuration\administrative templates\system\ctrl + alt + del options but "remove Task Manager" not was set up be it, enabled or disabled.

You have posted in forum for Windows Vista operating system. You need to display in place in one of the Server on Technet forums. The usual cause of not opening Task Manager is infection then you need to start troubleshooting with it.

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.

    Hello

    It appears when you press ctrl + shift + ESC? It seemed before? You are an administrator on this computer or is it a corporate system?

    If he has suddenly ceased to be available, it's a good sign that you have picked up a virus or some kind of malware. Formal analysis in safe mode is your first line of defense.

  • Server 2008R2 Task Manager will not run the task

    Hi all

    I have problems with automating a task on the server 2008R2, I have a limited user on my server which account is used to run a media server (Twonkymedia) and a home automation program called "Domoticz".

    Because I don't want the user to have access to the normal system resources, it always takes administrator privileges to run the program and access to the database, because I don't want to manually enter credentials of Directors whenever this user logs that I taught on the automation of this with Task Scheduler.

    I managed to create a task that toured to launch applications with admin credentialsb (simply by using the command runas in the path did not work) but once I connect and the still as the "limited" user task that has a shortcut placed in the startup folder does not start specific applications When I open the Task Manager to diagnose errors, she appears as running.

    Both users are given exclusive rights to start as a processing batch.

  • 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

    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).

    Click on Services tab > click Services at the bottom right > uac prompt > now scroll to find itunes. I don't know how it's called. No doubt itunes.exe > if you find it, click on it > looks to the left, click on stop.

It's like he is completely invisible now and I can see it is more more.  I have no idea what to do and I tried clicking and running as administrator but still it even will not open I'm out of ideas.

    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)
