Since I have this on my laptop I had different problems: Google Chrome stops working, when I close chrome I can't open it anymore, can't open other programs like task manager, can't restart,...
- remove the map c:\programfiles\settingsmanager don't work
- end the processes related also don't work
What works???? (I'm using Windows 8.1 64bit)
- log off
- press the off button
- hold SHIFT and press restart and wait...
- choose other options than the command prompt
- Log in with an administrator account (usual your own)
- than type:
->cd c:\progra~2\settin~1 ENTER
->del smdmfu ENTER - y ENTER
->cd smdmfu ENTER
->del x64 ENTER - y ENTER
->rd x64 ENTER - cd.. ENTER
->rd smdmfu ENTER - cd.. ENTER
-> rd settin~1
-> exit ENTER
go to windows 8.1 - check task manager (ctrl+shift+esc) for processes with the name smdmfu and check the map c:\program files(x86)and look for the map: settingsmanager, if you don't find anything it's done! :-)
