Hello Ace, and welcome to Eight Forums.

You might see if OPTION ONE in the tutorial below may be able to enable regedit again for you so that you will be able to do the above to enable Task Manager.

This does sound like something malware would do. I would also recommend to do a full scan of your system with something like the free Malwarebytes or Windows Defender Offline.


Hope this helps, :)
Shawn
