[SOLVED] task manager dont start

[manolis kokotsakis]

I was deleting some unnecessary services, and , possibly, by mistake i delete someting, and the tsak manager now dont start. Not even the services . I think the mistake is the appinfo service.

What can i do now ?

Thanks.

Try to reset the appinfo service to start on demand. You can do this from the command prompt (run as admin) and typing:

sc config Appinfo start= demand

Source: http://revertservice.com/10/appinfo/

Important, also see Dependencies on the above link.

Note: I just disabled the appinfo service on my test machine and Task Manager quit working, so that is likely the problem you are facing. I'm unable to restart it with
sc start appinfo
because it says it's already running. So maybe the above (reset it to demand) will help. You'll probably have to reboot afterwards. I hope you can still boot up. It's hard to tell what all damage you have done by disabling other services.

cmd as admin , dont work.
ms config , dont work
task manager , dont work.
situations problem. All these because i delete appinfo ???

You can't open CMD or msconfig as well?

 

[manolis kokotsakis]

msconfig , no
cmd , yes, but not as admin .

I think problems will stop, if find a way to restart the appinfo services.

Do you have any restore points?

Win+R and type in rstrui.exe and press OK.

And lacking a restore point or a good full drive backup....you might be looking at a full Windows reinstall.

You can't get to the tools to turn things back on.

 

[manolis kokotsakis]

I will do.
But, do you think, that was the mistake ?
Deleting the appinfo service, create all these ?

"deleting some unnecessary services "

Looks like it was more than one.

@Colif , do you think he could boot from a flash drive and run the SC command to reset it?

It might be worth a try.

If not, I have a feeling that USAFRet can show you how to reinstall Windows.

Edit: Colif might be asleep now.

Sorry to double post, but I think this might help:
https://superuser.com/questions/997568/so-i-disabled-the-application-information-service
So the answer on that page is to boot into safe mode and run Services from there and re-enable it.

If you can't run Services in safe mode, see if you can run regedit. If so, we might be able to fix it by editing the registry.

The last resort would be to run a registry command from command prompt after booting to it from a flash drive (Windows 10 setup).

If none of that worked, Windows reinstall would be needed.

Thank you sir.

 

[Colif]

please don't delete services. It only ends in pain. why did you do it anyway?
I use services so rarely i had to remember it was on task manager.

reset probably fix it. as he didn't edit registry.
safe mode and enable it again works if he didn't infact delete it.

maybe "sfc /scannow " command could work? did you try?
