How to Disable Task Manager Through Group Policy?

Disabling Task Manager through Group Policy is a straightforward process that involves modifying a specific setting within the Group Policy Editor.

Steps to Disable Task Manager:

1. Open the Group Policy Editor: Press Windows Key + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter.
2. Navigate to the User Configuration: Expand User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System.
3. Locate the Task Manager Setting: Double-click on "Prevent access to the Task Manager".
4. Enable the Setting: Select "Enabled" and click "Apply" followed by "OK".

Restarting the Policy:

You might need to restart the computer or log out and log back in for the policy change to take effect.

Additional Considerations:

• This policy setting only affects the user's ability to open Task Manager. It does not prevent the system administrator from accessing Task Manager.
• If you want to disable Task Manager for all users, you can apply this policy to the domain or organizational unit (OU) that contains all users.
• Be aware that disabling Task Manager can limit users' ability to troubleshoot problems or manage their system resources.
