The file manager (aka the task manager) is a convenient operating system tool that allows you to disable a frozen process or program, and, if necessary, start a new process. Typically, these specific features are rarely used by an ordinary user of a personal computer. That is why in companies with corporate networks, access to the task manager is closed by the administrator. What if you still need this function?
Instructions
Step 1
Check the ability to open the file manager. If the situation is similar to the one described above, i.e. your personal computer is part of the corporate network and the administrator has revoked your right to launch the file manager, then in this case you will not be able to do anything and you will not be able to use this function. If, when you try to activate the file (task) manager in your home, on your personal computer, a message pops up stating that this function is blocked by the administrator, then there is a serious cause for concern. After all, there is no administrator on your computer except you and should not be. It is possible that all this is the pranks of malicious software.
Step 2
Try all the combinations available to launch the Task Manager. Press the key combination Ctrl + Alt + Delete or Ctrl + Shift + Esc in sequence. Do not forget to try right-clicking on the taskbar and giving the command "Start Task Manager". If none of this helps, then proceed with more decisive action.
Step 3
Perform the following manipulations with the registry. Click the Start button, then Run. At the command prompt, enter gpedit.msc. After that, the Group Policy Editor should start. Follow the following route: "User Configuration" -> "Administrative Templates" -> "System" -> "Features" -> "Remove Task Manager". Check if the last item is "on". Change this value to disabled or not configured. This action should activate the file manager (task manager). Restart your computer for the changes to take effect. If the Task Manager turns off again for some unknown reason, it could be a signal of virus activity. Run your antivirus and check your computer.
