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.
