Windows 10: Apps can't talk to each other - Group Policy?

Hi all, I've probably changed a setting in the Group Policy MMC which I regret but can't locate to change back, could someone please direct me?

In MS OneNote 2007, when I copy a hyperlink (e.g. right-click over a tab and select 'Copy Hyperlink to this Page'), and then paste that hyperlink anywhere else within OneNote, I can't then use the hyperlink. When I click on the hyperlink I get the following dialogue box, 'This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. please contact your system administrator'





Similarly with my ePub reader (Icecream ebook reader), if you change the location of your ebook, you can relocate it with the properties dialogue box, or you should be able to by clicking on the folder symbol which should then open up file explorer, allowing you to navigate to the new location. But I can't because it does not respond, and I suspect it is the same group policy restriction:





Could anyone suggest where I might look to resolve this.

Many great thanks in advance, Chig.

GROUP POLICIES IN WINDOWS 10

You can change Group Policies by opening Group Policy Editor first. You can open it by following these steps:

• Log in an administrator account. If you are already logged in as an administrator, proceed to step 2.
  
• Press Windows + R to open Run.
• Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
  

After opening Group Policy Editor, you can now make the necessary changes that you want.

Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.

Regards.

Group Policy and the Apps List

I am working on a Windows 2012 R2 server that is the DC for my network. The employees all use Windows 10 machines governed by Group Policy. We restrict what they see in their Start Menu as well as what is in their apps list. We updated a few computers
to see how they would be affected, and while the Start Menu portion is showing the correct programs, the apps list next to that is now showing quite a few things that we don't want them to see. We have an .xml file on the server that determines what the start
menu looks like, but that .xml file doesn't affect the apps list.

My question is this: How do I hide these new apps that are now in their apps list? I have scoured the internet for this answer and can find nothing. The only thing I can find is how to hide the apps list completely which I do not want to do.

Any suggestions?
