Win10 finds the Win7 classic task manager method

The Win10 Technology Preview has been released for a while now. Are you still using it? Recently, foreign users have provided a way to replace the old task manager in Win10. Of course, it's not that the old version of the task manager is better. Here is just a process of replacing the task manager, providing an easy way for novice friends to replace the Windows system program. Let's take a look at it together.

1. First download the classic task manager program extracted from Win10's boot.wim file (including the registry file that will be used later, click to download), of course, you can also use GImageX and other tools. extract.

2, the downloaded "taskmgr folder" will be decompressed and stored in the root directory of the system partition, such as “C:\\taskmgr”. Because the corresponding file path is specified in the registry file, it must be placed under “C:”. Of course, you can also try to modify it yourself. After importing, the contents of the registry are as shown below.

3, determine the operating system version you are using x86 or x64, then select the appropriate registry file, double-click to run. After importing this registry information into the current system, you can see the classic task manager (you must open the registry editor as an administrator).

4, do not need to restart, just press “ Ctrl + Shift + Esc & rdquo; key combination or right click on the taskbar, select “ task manager & rdquo;, you can See the classic style of the task manager. To restore, it is also very simple, just double-click the file "UNINSTALL_x86_or_x64.reg";

Implementation method: Here is a very well-known IFEO debugger method, which can directly replace the program information added in the registry when a program is running. And debugging. Under the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Image File Execution Options" subkey, you will find a list of many application files. Just add the “Debugger” string value directly to the right side and manually specify its debug application path to replace the existing program. This way, when we open the Task Manager again, we will call the classic task manager that we copied before.

The file manager program extracted from boot.wim needs to be renamed before it can be used by the debugger. Otherwise, after the system detects the file tampering, it will automatically replace it with the original file, so rename it to “Tm.exe”.

Writing in the end: The Win10 preview brings a series of changes, taking care of the different usage habits of Win7 and Win8/8.1 users, and Microsoft itself has become more focused on listening to the voices from users. Previously, we have seen various suggestions from users in the Microsoft feedback community, but whether these recommendations will be adopted depends on Microsoft's final decision. After all, the first update of the Win10 preview is still on the road, and there is still a long way to go before the official release. Perhaps when the Windows 10 Consumer Preview is officially released, we may be able to see a completely different Windows 10 than it is now.
