Task Manager: Odd Problem

[geekhelp4u]

Wanted to see if anyone in here has any ideas on why the following happens.

When I click CTRL ALT DEL and select Task Manager, it takes forever to load up.

When I right click on the task bar and select Task Manager, it loads instantly.

Anyone have any idea why the CTRL ALT DEL method is so slow to load?

Nope. Both are really quick for me, but everything is running well. Next time I'm at a slow one, I'll check it out for you.

Try using CTRL+SHIFT+ESC see what that one does

runs just as fast as a right click, but CTRL ALT DEL is still slow to load... had someone on another forum suggest this as an .inf fix - have not tried yet, and I am a little iffy on it... can anyone confirm this is safe?

if your looking to remove restricted policy's why not use dial a fix?

these fixes look like they DO restrict policys.

this has become quite frustrating...

i have run

ccleaner
superantispyware
avast
avg
glary utili
lsp fix
dial a fix
spybot s&d

and it still takes forever for task manager to open using ctrl-alt-del or CTRL+SHIFT+ESC

but it opens instantly when i right click on task bar and select task manager...


any more ideas?
