On the work computer task manager is protected by password. I'm local admin, how can i revert this?
(feddit.it)
Because i am local admin and i'm authorized to do whatever i want, i can use process explorer.
But i want to use taskmgr.exe
The exe is signed by microsoft
I’ve never really understood this approach. If my work laptop prevents me from doing work, I open a ticket, cc my boss, and move on with my life. I’ve got enough other stuff to do and why take on the risk associated with circumventing company security controls just to get that TPS report in on time? I’ve got documentation showing that I tried and couldn’t complete the work because of the security control.
This is the right way to do it. Make it clear this IT process is causing reduced performance. Especially if you're a profit centre you will likely see the problem solved soon enough.
This specific thing. A password on task manager is really dumb though. I assume they have some spyware they don't want users to be able to stop. But, most of this kind of software (think antivirus) generally have other ways to prevent tasks being closed. They don't need to remove task manager. Task manager is an important and needed tool for any windows user.
