Question

my task manger is not opening not cmd command my disc is showing error and i cant download anything

Answer 1

This is most likely caused by an emerging problem being reported in the March update where the user looses permissions on the C drive, usually on devices with Samsung drives.

However, if you have a Samsung device, Microsoft have confirmed they have investigated this problem, and indicate it is caused by the Samsung Share or Samsung Connect app and they are working with Samsung to resolve the problem.

Start your PC, just as Windows attempts to load (spinning dots), press and hold Power Button for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a Hard Shut Down

Do this twice

On the third start Windows will boot into the Recovery Environment and from there you can access System Repair, Safe Mode, Command Prompt... etc.

In the recovery environment are you able to uninstall the March update from there.

Answer 2

Follow these steps in order, as some tools like Task Manager and CMD are currently not opening.

1. Try opening Task Manager with all available methods

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc together.
• If that fails, press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and select Task Manager from the menu.
• Or right‑click the Start button on the taskbar and select Task Manager.

Task Manager is a built‑in tool that lets you see if the system is overloaded (CPU, memory, disk) and close unresponsive apps.

2. Run System File Checker (SFC) to repair system files Since normal CMD is not opening, use the secure desktop path:
3. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete.
4. Click Task Manager (if it opens from here).
5. In Task Manager, select File > Run new task.
6. Type cmd and check Create this task with administrative privileges, then press Enter.
7. In the command prompt, run:

      sfc /scannow
   

8. Wait for the scan to complete; it will repair missing or corrupted system files.

If SFC asks for installation media, insert the Windows media as prompted.

3. Check disk usage and errors via Task Manager Once Task Manager opens:

• Go to the Performance tab.
• Check Disk usage. If it is constantly at 100%, that explains slowness and failures.
• Use the Processes tab to end any clearly stuck or unnecessary apps using high disk.

4. Fix “cannot download anything” from browsers (Attachment Manager / security settings) If downloads are blocked or show “virus scan failed” / “virus detected”:

A. Enable file downloads in Internet security settings

1. Press Win + R, type inetcpl.cpl, press Enter.
2. Go to the Security tab.
3. Select the Internet zone (globe icon) and click Custom level.
4. Scroll to Downloads > File download and select Enable.
5. Scroll to Miscellaneous > Launching applications and unsafe files and select Prompt (recommended).
6. Click OK, then OK again.

B. If antivirus is blocking safe downloads If the browser shows Virus scan failed or Virus detected, this is typically from antivirus, not Windows itself. For a file that is known safe and from a trusted source:

• Temporarily disable real‑time scanning in the antivirus.
• Download the file.
• Immediately re‑enable antivirus protection afterward.

C. Advanced: Disable antivirus scan for attachments via registry (only if absolutely needed) This reduces protection and should be temporary.

1. Press Win + R, type regedit.exe, press Enter.
2. Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Attachments
3. If Attachments does not exist, right‑click Policies > New > Key and name it Attachments.
4. Right‑click Attachments > New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
5. Name it ScanWithAntiVirus and press Enter.

(Values for this key are not detailed in the context, so only create it if instructed by support or documentation and always keep antivirus enabled in general.)

5. Scan for malware if disk errors and tool failures persist

• Use installed antivirus to run a full scan.
• If none is installed, install a reputable antivirus and scan, as malware can cause Task Manager/CMD to be blocked and disk errors.

6. If Windows Explorer or system keeps failing If the system is unstable (Explorer crashes, screens freeze), repeat the SFC scan as above. If issues persist after SFC and malware scans, consider starting in Safe Mode and repeating the steps, then planning a repair or reset of Windows.
