Quite often, users of operating systemsWindows XP and above when trying to complete a process or a hung application encounter an unpleasant situation when the system reports that the Task Manager is disabled by the administrator. What is the reason for this behavior of the system, few guess. Even fewer users know how to fix the problem. Further, several solutions are proposed that will allow the controller to bring to life.
In the case of computers on whichregistered several users, the reason for blocking may be completely banal. Indeed, the administrator of a computer or a sysadmin could block this service so that the user does not accidentally complete some vital system process. In addition, the local user may be set too high a level of control over the access rights to certain functions and tools of the system, despite the fact that it is not necessary to have special privileges to call the controller. In such a situation, the easiest way to contact the administrator is to make changes to the established restrictions, if this is the reason for blocking.
However, the most common occurrence of a notice isthat Task Manager is disabled by the administrator in Windows 7, for example, due to virus exposure to the system. Some virus applets are able to perform such blocking when they penetrate a computer, registering their own keys in the system registry and changing the system settings.
So, if such a message appeared,the system should immediately be checked for the presence of threats, using not a regular antivirus for this, but programs of a portable type like Dr. Web CureIt. If the utility cannot neutralize the found viruses, use the Kaspersky Recue Disk program, which you need to write to removable media, boot from it, bypassing the start of Windows, and perform a deep scan and then remove all found threats. For scanning, it is desirable to select all the objects that will appear in the list, and not just local disks and partitions.
However, you can remove the lock even without checkingviruses, but only under the condition that the local user has access to the registry editor, which may also be blocked. We will proceed from the fact that access to system tools is not limited.
So, what to do if Task Manager is disabled by the administrator? The first method to fix the problem is to make adjustments to group policy settings.
To do this, use the gpedit command via the Run menu.msc call the appropriate editor and go to the option point Ctrl + Alt + Del through the administrative templates in the user configuration and the system section. On the right there is the option to delete the "Task Manager". Double-click to call the options editing window and activate the “Disabled” or “Not set” lines if the enabled mode is set. In order not to reboot, minimize all active windows, click on Win + D, and then select the Refresh item in the menu that appears.
Suppose the Task Manager is disabledadministrator in Windows 10 or in systems of lower rank, but the previous method did not give an effect (which is unlikely). To activate the dispatcher, you can use the editing of the corresponding registry key, since group policies simply duplicate registry settings. However, registry settings have a higher priority. In other words, the options set in the policies through the registry can be changed, but on the contrary - not.
Again use the execution console and enter the regedit command to call the editor.
In the HKCU branch through the section SOFTWARE you needgo down to the Policies directory, which has a subsection System. Usually it is here that viruses create the DisableTaskMgr key and assign it a value of one. Open the parameter by double-clicking to edit, change the current value to zero, and then restart it without fail.
Теперь посмотрим, что можно сделать, если Task Manager is disabled by the administrator in Windows XP. By and large, you can apply the above methods to fix the problem. However, for many novice users, they may seem overly complex. Therefore, it is much easier to use the small free portable utility XP Tweaker.
After launching the application, go to the protection tab, and in the system section, uncheck the checkbox of the Task Manager.
Note: if the check mark is not initially set, but the dispatcher is not available, install it, apply the settings, then remove and save the changes again.
Finally, if the Task Manager is disabled by the administrator, you can use the utility from AVZ (by the way, also of the portable type) to restore access to it.
After starting the program through the file menu, you need to select a system restore point, set a tick on the manager unlock item and press the button to perform the marked operations.
As you can see, if Task Manager is disabledadministrator, you can fix the situation quite simply. What to choose from the proposed solutions? It seems that ordinary or novice users will be easiest to use the described portable utilities. If you do without them, it is better to immediately edit the value of the corresponding key in the registry, and not in the policies, since the viruses affect the registry with its priority settings. It is better to use politicians if a short-term failure has occurred in the system, and no viruses have been detected on the computer.
Однако стоит сказать, что все приведенные методы are effective and work even without prior neutralization of threats. If access to the registry will be blocked, it can be restored through the policy settings by selecting the appropriate item in the settings. The technology is the same as for the dispatcher.
