    For some reasons I cant open my task manager in Window now.
    When I right click on the task bar, the task manager is grey out.
    If I press Ctrl-Alt-Del then there a message box said Task manager has been disable my admin, but I dont remember doing this.
    This happend after I click on Asus Auto-update, this program slow the whole laptop down and frezze so I have to hot-shutdown the program, after that I restart the laptop and now I can not open task manager.
    So if you guys know what happend and how to enable task manager then please help me.
    Thank you, have a nice day

    I know one virus doing that. Try booting in safe mode and if you can open it - it is that virus. You will have to find it and destroy it.

    I hope I am wrong.

    Also try logging in as administrator instead of your regular user.

    But yeah, as ikovac said, it's most likely a virus. I had one that did the same some time ago.
