You can either reboot, or run

sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.taskgated.plist

When I ran launchctl load I got this error:

/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.taskgated.plist: Operation already in progress

So I had to run:

sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.taskgated.plist

Followed by:

sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.taskgated.plist

And even then it took about a half minute for it to show up in ps.

Since El Capitan, you won't be able to unload the task while SIP (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204899) is engaged. You'll need to disable it (http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/208478/how-do-i-disable-system-integrity-protection-sip-aka-rootless-on-os-x-10-11) to perform this. Rebooting might be easier... – donovan.lampa Oct 10 '16 at 15:23

Use this command without sudo. (Worked on Yosemite)

launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.taskgated.plist
