How do you fix a Windows Task Manager that was accidentally disabled?

In: Windows, Computer Maintenance [Edit categories]

[Edit]

Simply Try this

Click Start, Run and type this command exactly as given below: (better - Copy and paste)

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

1. Click Start | Run. 2. Enter gpedit.msc at the command line and click OK. This will open the Group Policy settings window. 3. Select User Configuration | Administrative Templates | System | Ctrl+Alt+Delete Options | Remove Task Manager. 4. Double-click the Remove Task Manager option from the Group Policy menu. You can then disable, enable, or set the policy to Not Configured. Remember: Since the policy in question is called Remove Task Manager, by disabling the policy, you are actually enabling the Task Manager. Disabling or setting this policy to Not Configured should alleviate your problem.

Answer

I have two problems. The keyboard is disabled and task manager is disabled. I suspect spyware at the root and that it has changed something in the registry for only one of the users. I have not tried the solutions yet, but I will leave a detailed description when I have resolved both of these issues.

i am hoping that you can still do every thing else normaly, click start navigate to all programs go to accessories then go to accessibility then click on on screen keyboard "type" in what the the first contributer- i'm hoping you can still use your mouse, hope it works for you

Answer

If your keyboard is disabled, you can still select text, by clicking the left mouse button and dragging the mouse from the beginning of the text you wish to copy, to the end of it, and then right click the selection and click Copy. You can then right click -> Paste where you want to put the text.

Additionally, you may want to run a scan using antivirus software. I recommend Avast, it's free and only requires an email address to get a key code, and works the best, out of all the ones I've tried.
