What happened to the Task Manager?
until recently, on my XP and Vista OS, bringing to the top the task as Manager provided other assistance in drop-down menus for the functions - but NOW displays only the display of the window Task Manager running programs and their status - and all the other menus are gone - what gives, and how do I access these related menus now?
If it's "progress" of MS, * I * don't really care for him!

Open the Task Manager, and then double-click just inside the border. This should return to normal appearance.

Long story short say, I just refresh my PC because it is having problem at the start of the system.
After having updated the system and install a few programmes and I realized the BOOT parameters (Task Manager > startup) indicates "there is no startup item to display. I mean, it's crazy isn't?
Someone help, please help, what can I do to make the START to return to normal settings?
Thank you in advance!
Having the same problem. The 'start' in the Task Manager tab is empty, even though I checked that there are indeed elements in the key of HKCU\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run as well as in HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run key.
For some reason any the Task Manager no longer shows nothing in the Startup tab.
I've learned since this tab can be quite finicky. For example, delete the startup of your local directory of programs folder can cause to return empty.
I had deleted this folder:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Once, I restored the folder, the start in the Task Manager tab started working again.

My refuses to mouse click until I opened the task manager - what could be the cause?
I installed Windows 7 pro on my laptop (64 bit) and for some reason, when I start the computer, on which the mouse will be able to move, but can't select anything or click. When I fly over things that should light up, nothing seems to happen. I have similar issues - when I open the Task Manager, the mouse begins to click. In fact, when I press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and with the pointer of the mouse on "Start Task Manager" I can see the mouse commit but I don't know what process is engaged to achieve. I can also drag files in folders or use the scroll wheel with my mouse. I use a Lenovo laptop on a dock with a keyboard and a Microsoft wireless mouse. I seem to be able to drag the files when I'm not on the dock. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

"The Task Manager icon" - what is the path to the Taskmgr.exe?
What is the path to the Taskmgr.exe?
Hey Alvin the writer.
The location of the Task Manager is: C:\Windows\System32\taskmgr.exe (assuming that your Windows installation is located on the C partition :)
You need only the location of the file taskmgr.exe or you need help with a problem involving the Task Manager?
Can't wait to hear back on your part.

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 know how to stop most of the programs running in the back ground by using the Task Manager and the process tab. But, I click "Show processes from all users" list is double what it was. I need a list of what I can finish process without going through the computer off and restart or with on dreaded blue screen. So I ask if anyone has a list of processes that are sure to stop?

What is dhf systray indicated in the Task Manager in windows XP
Hello
What is dhf systray indicated in the Task Manager in windows XP
Hello
Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities.
According to the description of the problem, it seems that you try to know dhf systray.
It seems to be a virus, so I suggest you analyze your computer Microsoft Safety Scanner, it will help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
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 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: 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.
Please follow these recommended steps and post if you still experience 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?
GeorgeHi 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.

Here you can see the problem. What is this thing?
Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.
According to the description of the problem some application named QuickActionBox is running and showing in the Task Manager.
If you think that this application is not known to you and you think that's not important, then you can uninstall it in the list of programs. But before you uninstall this application, I recommend to create a system restore point and try to uninstall the application so that if this application is important, then you can come back to this point again.
To create restore point, you can see the article mentioned below.
A restore point is a representation of a stored state of your computer's system files. You can use a restore point to restore system files from your computer to an earlier point in time. Restore points are created automatically by the restore of the system each week and when System Restore detects the beginning of a change to your computer, for example when you install a program or a driver.
You can uninstall a program from your computer if you no longer use, or if you want to free up space on your hard drive. You can use the programs and features to uninstall programs or to change the configuration of the program by adding or removing certain options.
Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.
Kind regards

I was just wondering if raising the Task Manager causes a spike in CPU percentage used? What is the normal percentage?
Original title: percentage of CPU
ASJ
I guess it depends what you mean by 'raising '. If the Task Manager is running minimized and you maximize there should be virtually no effect. If you ask any Manager launch tasks can be a brief rally in cpu, memory, and HD activity, but he should be back almost immediately where he was, the slight increase depends on your specifications of the system and other factors.
Is there a reason you ask?
