  1. Task Manager and Desktop Access on a Standard Account


    I have created a program that needs desktop access. It takes screen shots. I am trying start the program for all users on logon. The problem is that desktop access is only given when "Run only when user is logged on" is selected. This means the program can't be run for standard users.Before anyone asks, yes I run it with highest available privileges. It can't run on startup because startup doesn't give desktop access. SYSTEM doesn't give desktop access. 'Run whether user is logged on or not' doesn't give desktop access. The standard user can't ask for admin login because this is meant to monit

    No restart button in task manager

    another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.

    Credentials for Task Manager

    Task manager in Windows 10 is not the same thing as Task manager for Windows 7 & earlier.

    • You can, for example, alter Startup items that you used to use MSConfig for in earlier Windows versions.

    • If you are logged in to an Admin user account, Task manager in Windows 10 always challenges for Admin permission when it starts.
    • If you are logged in to a Standard user account, Task manager in Windows 10 will open without any Admin challenge.

    • If you are logged in to an Admin user account, Task manager in Windows 10 will allow you to alter entries in the Start-up tab such as disabling an item.
    • If you are logged in to a Standard user account, Task manager in Windows 10 will only allow you to alter entries in the Start-up tab that affect that user account only. If you try to alter an item that affects other users, the disable command is greyed
      out.
