Hi!

Again, same problems with Task MAnager, but now on three (2) Win2K servers in the Domain.

Problem: Task bar > right click > Task manager (same as ctrl + alt + del + task manager) == task manager goes to tray bar and Can
Not be restored to desktop/screen.

When trying to run/open/start task manager Again, it is deploying its icon next to another (which i run second ago) and cant be
brought to desktop (restored).
I can run more then a few taskmgr.exe processes (tryed up to 7) and i cant restore neither of em.

Ctrl + Shift + Esc == starting new Task Manager, but its still placing its icon in the tray bar. (If task manager was already
started, it is creating new taskmgr.exe process and adding new icon next to previous task managers icon in the tray bar).

Start > Run > taskmgr.exe == does same thing (same as from cmd.exe).

I tryed clicking on the icon with left and right clicks but notting + i cannot move it neither i get any options as normally.

That Server is Virus/Ad free and Updated.

I can kill the processes, then icons go away. Starting task manager again gives same result.

Server was restarted Once == same result == no result == same thing keeps going ...

I solved the problem my using: diskperf -y (i initated disk perf counters) and restarted the machine (one minute short fix).

Or, if i kill (tskill) all instances of taskmgr.exe and run Computer managment > Perf. Logs And Alerts > Counter Logs > Sys Overview
> start, then stop, then start Perfomnace Log and Alerts Service.

Task Manager will work, until again staled.

I really dont have any ideas no more ...

Thank You,
