Laptop Windows Activation Key

[SamT]

Hello,

Can you open Task Manager by holding Ctrl + Shift + Esc?

I am having the same exact problem, and I can not open Task Manager after clicking it after using Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Could you please help me out?

What is your operating system?

 

[SamT]

Are you referring to which version of Windows I have? If so, Windows 10.

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool x64 and save it to a flash drive.

• Plug the flashdrive into the infected PC.
• Click Start and while holding Shift key on your keyboard click Power --> Restart.

Note: It is important that you keep Shift key pressed while doing this or it won't work.​

• Now you should get a window like this where you need to click Troubleshoot.

• In the next window, click Advanced options and select Command Prompt.
• Now you should log in into your account and after that Command Promptwindow.

Access the notepad and identify your USB drive

In the Command Prompt please type in:

and press Enter.

• When the notepad opens, go to File menu.
