    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.

    Task manager is disabled

    Hi,

    Recently I discovered, when I open my lock screen with ctrl + alt + del the task manager is missing from the bottom.
    I tried to run the exe but it says that I need admin rights, I checked and I'm the admin on my PC.
    I also edited the Local Group Policy:

    User Configuration -> Asministrative Templates -> System -> ctrl + alt + del options

    Remove Task Manager said it was already Disabled, I changed it to Not Configured then back to Disabled and it solved the issue until next restart.

    Could anybody suggest some decent solution instead of me writing a janky task instead?

    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.
