Good practical fix from — the Group Policy setting is exactly what causes the "Task Manager disabled by administrator" message that reported. Two important follow-ups that are not in the thread: how to recover when gpedit.msc is not available (Home editions) and what to do if the setting keeps coming back (malware or domain policy).

If you cannot use Group Policy, the same setting is controlled by the registry. Back up the registry or create a System Restore point before changing anything. The relevant keys are under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Remove the DWORD named DisableTaskMgr or set it to 0 to enable Task Manager. A ready .reg file that forces Task Manager enabled (import with a double-click) looks like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableTaskMgr"=dword:00000000

If the DisableTaskMgr value keeps returning, treat that as suspicious: run a full AV and anti-malware sweep (Safe Mode scans, offline rescue media or dedicated tools like Malwarebytes), inspect startup items and running processes with msconfig or Sysinternals tools, and run sfc /scannow if taskmgr.exe is missing or corrupted. Finally, if the PC is domain-joined the domain controller can reapply the policy — in that case a local change will not stick and the domain administrator must adjust the policy. Always back up the registry before edits and use administrator credentials to make these changes.
