Are you a person who tweaks your computer quite often? Tweaking makes computer performance better however sometimes it is also possible that the same tweaks might hamper your system too. This quite often taking placing in windows 8 as more and more tweaking applications are coming up that offers to make the speed of already optimized system.
It cannot be completely said that what such of those applications actually do, although they do optimize the system to a certain extent. After that nothing can make your system faster, however it can make your PC go nuts. There are applications too that indulge into malware practices and make your system potential to threats too.
Talking about the task manager, you cannot deny the fact that it is one of the most important features of windows whatever version may. There are various reasons for being it disabled. One of which I have already discussed above. Additionally there are viruses that do so as their processes might not be able to disable by user manually. The most popular virus is an exe file that makes many exe folders in the system and disables lots of settings in Windows 8 including Task Manager.
A system infected by such process ends up disabling task manager. When you try to open Task Manager in Windows 8 which is affected by a virus, it’ll show “Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator” in a dialog box. This can be solved using a simple method. There are two methods of getting this done as:
Enable Task Manager in Windows 8 using Group Policy Editor:
- 1.Press Win + R key to open RUN box and enter the command gpedit.msc
- 2.Now navigate to Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Ctrl+Alt+DelOptions.
- 3.Now you can see a Remove Task Manager option in right side panel, double click on it to change its value.
You can set its value Disabled or Not Configured and restart the computer. You can also use gpupdate in RUN box command if you don’t want to restart the system.
Enable Task Manager in Windows 8 using Registry Editor:
As mentioned above that Group Policy can be configured in Windows registry as well, so you can modify the same Group Policy in registry and enable the Task Manager again. To enable Task Manager in Windows 8 or 8.1 again using the registry you have to open following location one by one in the Registry Editor and delete the DWORD value “DisableTaskMgr” in right-side pane.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\SystemHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\SystemHKEY_USERS\.default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Sytem
