3 Ways How to Enable Task Manager

3 Ways How to Enable Task Manager
 

Task Manager is a tool available on Windows. It allows you to view details about applications and services running on your system. It also helps a user to end the running application and services. Due to this reasons Administrators disable Task Managers to prevent users closing important security applications like antiviruses. In this situations you will get an error like “Task Manager disabled by Administrator”. However I have some techniques which you can use to enable the Task Manger using the Administrator account.


1.       Enabling Task Manager from Registry
 

Windows Registry is a set of information of the application installed on users system. Whenever an application is installed, a set of keys are created in the registry

 

·         Click on Start. Go to Run. Alternatively you can also use the combination of Windows key + R

·         Type Regedit and press Enter.

·         On the left hand side Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\ Current Version\Policies\System. If the System key is not there you can create it

·         Go to the right hand side and locate “DisableTaskMgr”. If it is not there you can create the DWORD value.

·         Double click on the “DisableTaskMgr”. On the new window which will pop up

·         Enter the value data as 0 and press OK

·         Close the registry editor and then check the Task Manager, if it is still disabled, restart the system and then check.

 
2.       Enabling Task Manager from Group Policy Editor

 

Group policy is used to edit the local policies of a system or a user account. It can also be used to enable Task Manager.

·         Click on Start. Go to Run. Alternatively you can also use the combination of Windows key + R

·         Type “Gpedit.msc” and press Enter

·         In the Group Policy editor, navigate to: User Configuration>Administrative Templates>System>Ctrl+Alt+Del Options.

·         Inside there look for “Remove Task Manager” and set its value to Disabled or Not Configured.

·         Close the Group Policy editor and restart your system and check

 

3.       Enabling Task Manager from UAC

 

UAC (User Account Control) is used to prevent unauthorized changes to your computer. When installing or changing any functions UAC can prompt for Administrators password before continuing the task

 

·         Click on Start. Go to Run. Alternatively you can also use the combination of Windows key + R

·         Type Regedit and press Enter.

·         Navigate to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

·         On the right hand side search for “EnableLUA”

·         Double click on “EnableLUA” and change the value to “0”.

·         Close the registry editor and then check the Task Manager, if it is still disabled, restart the system and then check.
