    Task Manager won't open, error message "The data area passed to a system call too small


    I recently experienced some issues with one of my hard drives on my computer (not the drive on which Windows is installed) and had to replace it. I had ProcessExplorer linked as the Ctrl+Alt+Del Task Manager but it was on that drive so of course when I tried to launch Task Manager I got an error. I tried changing the link to the original Task Manger (Windows\System32\Taskmgr.exe) but I get the following error message every time I try to launch taskmgr.exe


    "The data area passed to a system call is too small"



    I've tried launching the program directly from the Windows folder and I get the same message. I also made sure to run it as an administrator, and no luck. How can I fix this issue and get Taskmgr.exe working again?

    :)

    The data area passed to a system call is too small

    Hi Steve,

    "The data area passed to a system call is too small" error message can be caused by certain system configuration parameters. To give you a heads up, problems involving SQL servers has it's own dedicated forum. However, you may try to follow the instructions
    provided on the support article below on how to resolve this problem:

    FIX: "The data area passed to a system call is too small" error
    when you start a Desktop Bridge application on a SQL Server 2014, 2016, and 2017


    If the issue persist after performing the steps on the above link, it'll be best if you redirect this query to the
    Windows Technet forums - IT Pro for Windows 10, as the audience in that forum is
    more geared towards the ins and outs of SQL servers related problems. Hence, they will be better to provide more answers to your query.

    Best regards.
