    Windows Explorer keeps restarting, task manager unavailable.


    Hello Friends

    I am currently experiencing consistent restarting (every few seconds) of Windows Explorer on my PC. And this has caused the desktop to be unavailable/inaccessible. I'm desperate . To find out the error which is causing this, I need to access task manager (event viewer), which is also unavailable (greyed out when I right click on the task bar). By accessing the task manager, I hoped to stop the windows explorer process so that I can at least access to my school project. I cannot afford to reload the OS (Win7 Pro) as this will affect my school project.
    Kindly offer me your solutions, thank you so much.

    Looking forward to your replies.

    Regards,

    I think a complete Malware scan would be a good starting point. Download Malwarebytes here Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

    To follow a system file check is also good type SFC /scannow in the run line at the bottom of the menu. (the space after SFC is deliberate and needed)

Task Manager Unavailable

Two days ago, CTRL+ALT+DEL still brought up a menu, but suddenly it no longer included the Task Manager. When I tried to access the TM, I was told that the "System Administrator" had made the TM unavailable. Since I am the only user of this computer, I am therefore its administrator, and my account...
Looked in the task manager today and noticed 4 separate entries for explorer.exe / windows explorer. Is this normal? Or does it indicate a problem? Windows 7 32 bit system. Thank you for your time, Steve
