Enable Windows Task Manager
Most viruses disable the working of the task manager so that the process information of that virus would not be recognised by the user. However, once the virus is deleted, the disabled task manager remains in the same condition. Here are the tips to enable and use it again.
Using Group policy editor
- Go to Start --> Run and type gpedit.msc and press return
- A window will open displaying several settings and the configuration of the Computer and the Current User.
- In the Group Policy settings tab, navigate to Administrative templates --> System and select Ctrl + Alt + Del options.
- Double-click the Remove Task Manager option and disable it.
- Now Restart your system and you can now find your Task Manager when you press Ctrl + Alt + Del or Ctrl + Shift + Esc
OR
Using Registry editing tools
- Go to Start --> Run and type
regedit - Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies\System. - Right-click on the right side and select the new > Dword option and name it as "DisableTaskMgr" (without the quotes).
- Set its value to 0 (zero).
- Now close the Registry and restart your system.
