About this tag
The session manager tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions related to the Windows Session Manager subsystem, particularly its role in system startup and configuration. Topics include registry settings under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager, such as the autocheck autochk entries that control disk checking behavior. Users also report stop errors like 0xC000021a linked to the session manager during boot, often triggered by power settings or shutdown procedures. Additionally, the tag touches on how session manager interactions affect desktop features like Aero Glass, which can be disabled by remote desktop or screen-sharing applications. These threads focus on troubleshooting and configuration of session manager-related behaviors in Windows 7 and similar environments.
