Task Manager, as its name suggests, is an integrated Windows utility that allows you to prioritize, disable, enable and activate programs and services, and view a snapshot of system performance and application history. Because the Task Manager is responsible for several important operations within Windows, it is limited by default to performing certain functions as an administrator for standard users as a security measure.

If you are connected to a Windows PC as a default user, there are some tasks that you cannot perform without administrator rights. The error messages that prevent you from opening the Task Manager are “Task Manager disabled by your administrator” and “Access denied” for task execution. The default account can be configured for children, family members and employees without administrator privileges. This article describes how to use/execute the Task Manager with administrative privileges.

Creating a shortcut on the desktop

The easiest way is to create a shortcut on the desktop. You can do this via the user account.

Navigate in the Explorer to:

C:\Windows\System32\taskmgr.exe

Copy and paste on the desktop as a link or drag and drop while holding down the mouse button.

To use it, right-click on Run as and select the desired user/password.

Another way to run the Windows Task Manager as an administrator.

Here is another way to run the Windows Task Manager as an administrator if the first method is not suitable for you or simply to learn another way to do it.

1. type taskmgr in the Start Windows 10 search box. The Task Manager desktop application is displayed.

2. Right-click the Desktop Task Manager application icon and select Run as Administrator in the context dialog box.

3. On the next screen, you will be prompted to enter the password for the Admin account.

As you can see, this method only allows you to run as an administrator, while the first method allows you to run the Task Manager command like any other user by replacing the name “Admin” with that of another user.

Conclusion

There are some tasks in Windows 10 and other versions of the operating system that must be performed as an administrator. If you learn more about your PC, you will discover how useful it is to run items as an administrator, especially if they do not work that way even if you are connected as an administrator.

The Task Manager is one of these tasks. The next time you have problems with the Task Manager and try to take control of your machine, run it as an administrator and see if it makes a difference.
