Make Sure you Run the Application Under Administrator Rights if you have made registry changes in HKEY_LOCAL_Machine else it will work without administrator rights if you Disabled TaskManager From HKEY_CURRENT_USER :) please check Do you like this answer if helps you :) private void btnEnableTaskManager_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { RegistryKey rkey = Registry .CurrentUser.OpenSubKey( @Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\  true ); rkey.DeleteValue( DisableTaskMgr  true ); rkey.Close(); try { RegistryKey rkey2 = Registry .LocalMachine.OpenSubKey( @Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System  true ); rkey.DeleteValue( DisableTaskMgr  true ); rkey2.Close(); } catch { } MessageBox .Show( Regitry Enabled !! ); }
