Windows 10: My Registry Editors keep getting launch and the Task Manager keep getting disabled at the...

Hi, I owned a Windows 10 and after I installed uTorrent suddenly the registry editors window keeps getting launch every time I start the Windows.


Plus, my task manager keeps getting disabled as well. I already checked at the StartUp tab on my task manager but I can't find the Registry Editors options so I can remove it.


And for the task manager's problem, I also did to delete the 'Disable Task Manager' on Registry Editors but when I restart my laptop, the Task Manager consistently getting disabled and Registry Editors keep getting launch as well.


Please help.

Issues while accessing Task Manager and Registry Error: Disabled by Administrator

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while accessing Task Manager and Registry on your PC. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below:

1. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
   
2. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?
   
3. Are you connected to Domain/organization network?
   
4. What is the exact error message that you receive?
   

Refer the article Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try enabling built-in administrator account and see if you are able to access Task Manager and Registry. Kindly follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Now press Windows +
   S key together to open Search.
   
2. Now type CMD and select Run as administrator.
   
3. Accept the UAC prompts.
   
4. Type in the following command and hit Enter:
   
   net user administrator /active:yes
   

If you are able to access Task Manager and Registry in built-in administrator, then create a new user account using built-in administrator and check if you are still able to access Task Manager and Registry. Refer the article
Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10



Let us know how it goes.

Task Manager Not Available

Hi, you have Pro, so it's possible somehow that a policy has been set to disable it - a registry change.

This may give a clue - one possibility: unless this is what you've already checked.
Note- the logic of the setting may read a little confusingly

"Access is Denied" in task manager

Hi Joshua,

The error message that you're getting may occur due to the restriction for a certain system file or folder. To get the full access on your device, open
Command Prompt (Admin) and signed in with your username and password and check if you'll still see the "Access is Denied" message.

The Windows Defender is the default antivirus of Windows 10. You can open
Settings > Update and Security > Windows Defender > toggle off
Real-time Protection. If you want to permanently disable it, follow these steps:

• Tap on the Windows key to open the Start Menu.
• Type regedit.exe and hit Enter.
• Confirm the UAC prompt to continue.
• Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender.
• If you see the preference DisableAntiSpyware on the right, double-click on it and set it to 1 to disable Windows Defender.
• If the preference does not exist, right-click on Windows Defender and select
  New > Dword (32-bit) Value, and name it DisableAntiSpyware.

To restore Windows Defender at a later point in time, delete the key or set its value to 0.

Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully.
For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. Click
here for assistance.

You can disable the startup programs using the Task Manager. Here's how:

• Right-click on an empty area on the taskbar and select Task Manager.
• When Task Manager comes up, click the Startup tab and look through the list of programs that are enabled to run during startup.
  
• Right-click the program and select Disable.

Feel free to respond if the provided steps work for you.
