Windows task manager column to "description" on the process tab

I lost the description column 'manager' task of windows under the processes tab.  I have Windows Vista.  When I click View, select columns, 'description' is not one of the choices.  How can I get that back?

Try the task manager coming out and renaming a HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\TaskManager something as a HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\TaskManager.OLD.  Start the Task Manager and see if that helps.

  • Windows task manager looks completely wrong-it has no tabs for applications, services, processes, performance and put in a network, just a box of size rectangle TASKS WORKING ON?

    The Windows Task Manager seems completely wrong - it has no tabs for applications, services, processes, performance and networking, just one size rectangle box SHOW the TASKS of WORKING ON?  I use it all the time close process and close programs stuborn. None of these options are CURRENTLY available? The only thing I can think is I went to delete one of my readers WD3.0 data and he says it has been used by another program and I've had that happen before and just go close a lot of the process by typing Control, Alt and delete which opens the windows task manager. I recently changed "System Configuration'under'msconfig" Normal startup to "selective startup" and reduce the number of drivers and programs loading to 'Start Up', as he ran 90 things and slow start. "" "» I have no viruses or malware. I changed the "system configuration" back to normal + restart and that he would remove the progams, or processes that have been intefering with the Western Digital HD software. THIS IS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED WINDOWS TASK MANAGER HAS BEEN SCREWED UP.

    But I can't because my Windows Task Manager is just a rectangular box with a single word to the top sayingTASKS!  Without tab with all the other options as in (program, process, services, performance, and network management).

    The task manager has two different views. For the display that includes menus and tabs, double-click the border of the Task Manager window. To return to the view without menus and tabs, double-click anywhere in the border around the tabs.

    We won't have the information mentioned in the first response of Sandsweep.

    (I confirmed Microsoft's answer worked.) I must have clicked on the edge of the window Task Manager to have switched over to the second, less familiar view.)

  • Windows Error Task Manager too many files in the process.

    many files in process

    My laptop is pretty close to yours, it's a Toshiba Satellite L755, 4 GB RAM with Windows 7 64 bit.  It is not the number of jobs that it's the applications that are load at boot time.  Include Office, Quicken, MS Works, etc.  What you can do without having to pay for it is to run MSCONFIG and eliminate this problem.  Here's how.  Hold down the Windows key and press on R.  Then type in msconfig and click OK.  Click the STARTUP tab.  From there, you can uncheck everything except your antivirus software.  Which will release little RAM and speed up your computer IF you have the problem.

    Good luck.

  • The window Task Manager users send a message to users

    Can someone help me install send a message to the user on Windows 2008rs on Windows Task Manager user...

    Well, that's the case I click with the right button on the taskbar click Start Task Manager, click user and do a right click on a user, click send a message, I type a message and click OK and it says (your message to the user Paul (sessionid = 1) could be sent. Access is denied. Can someone please help :).

    Phongng714,

    The error that you normally get is due to a lack of Message special access permission rights. You can learn more about this here. You will notice in the section Additional Considerations that he mentions this authorization. You can manage permissions on a per connection basis in Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration. The permissions are listed on the Security tab in the connection Properties dialog box.

    Could check you the permission level and see if that solves it.

  • "The Windows Task Manager has stopped working" the INSTANT Task Manager opens... process of safe mode does nothing.

    I am running windows 7 64 bit and have encountered a problem. Whenever I have open tasks, any way Manager (msconfig, cntrl shift escape, Ctrl alt del, etc.), task manager opens and white and displays "Windows Task Manager has stopped working". I am increasingly frustrated with the problem. I tried booting in safe mode AND clean boot, but the problem persists. On top of that, the system restore fails whenever I'm trying to do.

    Could you please help me get running again the Task Manager?

    Hello

    Method 1: perform a system restore and see if it helps.

    System restore

    Method 2: check in safe mode, if the issue not to persist in safe mode, and then put the computer to boot.

    Step 1: start the computer in safe mode

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

    Start your computer in SafeMode (Windows 7)

    Step 2: put the computer to boot and see if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 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.

    Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

  • Second firefox.exe appearing in the process in Windows Task Manager...

    Hi all!

    I started facing this problem a few days ago and do not know what is the cause:

    In my Windows Task Manager, there are two firefox.exe that appear under the process (under Applications, Firefox only appears once). I used to complete the process to close each of the firefox.exe that appear and the result was special. Depending on whether one I finish, either the window closes completely as well as all tabs or hangs the tab that is currently open and I get the message: "bad new first: this tab broke down."

    I scanned my computer with AVG for viruses and everything was clean back. I've also scanned with ESET for malware and nothing was found.

    Any idea what I can do to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

    You may see the new multiprocessue feature in Firefox.

    Code name for Firefox multiprocessu 'e10s. https://wiki.Mozilla.org/Firefox/multiprocess

    Started with Firefox 48 for a very small percentage of users with noi extensions installed; expanded in Firefox 49 to a slightly more large group of users; expansion in Firefox 50. Automatically disabled when too many installed extensions are detected and extensions that do not yet support e10s are detected.

    Compatibility of the extension for the most popular extensions that are hosted on AMO are listed here: http://arewee10syet.com/

    To disable multiprocess:

  • CS5-> CS6 upgrade hangs, block the windows Task Manager, does nothing else

    Got the CS6 Design Standard update, hoping to upgrade from CS5 Design Premium. Could it be the problem? I don't have all the added bonus and this stuff is ridiculously expensive.

    In any case, I put the disc, nothing happens. I run the set - up.exe, the disc spins, then nothing continues to happen. I watched it for up to 5 minutes and nothing.

    Set - up.exe isn't in Applications, but it's in the process in windows Task Manager. However, there is no real activity at all. When I try to end the process, WTM crashes. I have to every hard reboot or eject the disc in order to recover.

    What gives? I can post PDApp.log if need be, but I don't know how much help it will be.

    So it turns out that it was the reader. I installed an internal DVD SATA drive and it ran the update without fault. Just in case someone else stumbles across this post with a similar problem, make sure that you do not install the update of an external USB DVD drive, specifically a Samsung SE-S084. It won't work.

  • How to restore my Windows Task Manager menu bar?

The only way I can shut it down now is by right-clicking on the icon when it appears in my task bar.

    Looks like you run the Task Manager using tiny/small footprint.
