Task Manager Disabled!

Have you ever faced this problem, where you can’t access your task manager?

Each time you try to press ‘Ctrl+Alt+Del’ you get a message like this :

Task Manager message

When you try to open Task manager through taskbar, you cannot click on it,

Cannot select task manager

This is caused mostly by Virus, and there’s a very simple solution to this simple problem!

There are 3 ways in which you can solve this :

Go to run and type gpedit.msc and click on Ok
Run –> gpedit.msc
Navigate to User Configuration —> Administrative Templates —> System —> Ctrl+Alt+Del options .
Navigate t ‘Ctrl+Alt+Del options’
Here, the value would be ‘Enabled’
The value would be Enabled.
Double click on it and Change it to ‘Disable’ or ‘Not Configured’
Enable task Manager
Check your task manager now:
Task Manager enabled

Go to run and type regedit. Make a backup first using CCleaner or In Registry Editor –> File –> Export before making any changes.
Run –> regedit –> create backup
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoft Windows Current VersionPolicies.
You’ll find System under Policies. If it is not present, you will need to create it.
Create ‘System’ key if it is not present.
On the right side, create a ‘DWORD 32bit Value’ and Enter its name as ‘DisableTaskMgr’ without the quotes.
If you already have ‘System’ key, there would be DisableTaskMgr on the right side.
Create DWORD value of 32bit, Name it ‘DisableTaskMgr’
Enter its value as ‘0’ and click Ok. If the DWORD was already present its value would be ‘1’. Change it to ‘0’.
Change its value to 0

Open notepad and paste this code
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem] “DisableTaskMgr” =dword:00000 000
Save it as Taskmanager.reg
Creating .reg file
Double Click on it, select Yes. The key would be added with value ‘0’.
Then restart your machine.

Click Yes and restart.
