Hello there,


I've found one similar question in this same page: https://ccm.net/forum/affich-40218-deep-freeze-r-uninstalling , and I tried the solution involving the change in CMOS date, but when I boot the computer in debug mode and open the task manager as soon as desktop shows up only the FrzState2k.exe process will show and even if I use processhacker to kill both that and DFServ.exe , when I next boot up the computer deep freeze continues working normally. Does anyone know any solution?

Thanks for your time

Thanks for your answer. I've already tried those steps but in the part where I have to quickly open task manager to kill DFServ.exe, even if I open it almost instantly the DFServ.exe process doesn't apear, only FrzState2k.exe, and I can't kill it directly. If I use process hacker to kill it, the next time I boot deep freeze contiues as always. Anyway I try the other thing that is shown in the bottom of the page you linked, thank you!

Click on start then on run. Type msconfig and enter.

Can you see if you can locate DFServ.exe or FrzState2k.exe under the services or start tabs.
