    Access denied when trying to end task


    Hello!

    Sometimes a process will hang for apparently no reason. The usual practice is to open Task Manager and terminate the process (select it and click End task). But there are a couple of applications that hang for good and cannot terminate them. I get an Access Denied error when I click End task. If I wait for VERY long time (maybe half an hour or more) maybe this process will eventually quit and close. But this is not always the case. Most practically I have to reset the computer (trying to restart or shutdown the whole computer hangs and never completes the action). This usually happens in Nero Video and Windows Explorer. In Nero Video, if I try to click to select project or to import media on the project, it might hang. This is really annoying as I have several videos waiting editing to free my hard disk space. Other times when I click on the start button, Windows Explorer hangs (I have Classic Shell installed, but I don't think this causes any issues). Has anybody any idea what's going on and how can I solve it? I have already searched for malware, but didn't find anything serious, just some privacy warnings which I have removed.

    Thank you in advance.

    PS: What means that a process is "suspended"? How can I resume it?

  3. 'Access denied' suddenly when trying to access external hard drive (WD Passport 2tb on Win 10)

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>takeown /D

    ERROR: Invalid syntax. Value expected for '/D'.

    Type "TAKEOWN /?" for usage.

    Okay, sorry, I was a bit too quick with that reply. Here's what to write (of course Access denied when trying to end task :p)

    D:\>TAKEOWN /F D: (where D: is the letter of the hard drive)

    SUCCESS: The file (or folder): "D:\" now owned by user (my directory)

    Now I'm about to enter CACLS (external drive letter) /G Administrator:F
    and just before I run that command I want to make sure I'm not about to erase and format the disk. Just to make sure. The y/n option is always so serious :/

    Thanks!
