Windows 10: Block PowerShell and CMD for standard users

Hello,In our organization we need to restrict our users from either running scripts in PowerShell and CMD or to block them completely. However admins should be able to run scripts or open these apps after running them as administrator.We tried to use AppLocker but the apps get blocked for both standard users and administrators. When we allow admins in AppLocker policy it is still blocked.I also tried implementing "Turn on Script Execution" option under "Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows PowerShell" in Intune configuration profile and powershell script gets blocked when is sav

CMD and PowerShell

Hi Andre,

I did all items you listed.

After reboot, running CMD and powershell (admin) had the same result ("no app associated"). So I turned the feature off in taskbar settings.

Regards,

UAC & standard users with additional privileges

I am marking this problem as solved. The problem was:

Allow a standard user to enable/disable a network without having to enter a password every time.

My solution for Windows 7 was:

1. Add the standard user to the "Network Configuration Operators" group.
2. Login as the standard user.
3. Create a shortcut to the network adapter.
4. Right-click on the shortcut to see or change the state of the network adapter.

I have received many useful and instructive suggestions on Tenforums. Based on those suggestions,
here's my solution for Windows 10:

1. Add the standard user to the "Network Configuration Operators" group.
2. Login as the standard user.
3. In a cmd window, run this command
netsh interface show interface
to learn the name of the network adapter.
4. Run Task Scheduler using the password of the standard user.
5. Create two shortcuts in accordance with Option 2 in this tutorial:
Elevated Shortcut without UAC - TenForumsTutorials
-- at Step 3, name the shortcuts something like “EnableLAN” and “DisableLAN”
-- at Step 7, in the Program/script field, type netsh
-- at Step 8, into the Add arguments field, type
interface set interface "name of network adapter" admin=enable
(Make the last element “disable” for the second task.)
-- at Step 14, name the shortcuts something like “Turn LAN On” and “Turn LAN Off”
6. Press the Win + R keys to open the Run dialog, type ncpa.cpl into Run, and click OK to open the Network Connections window. Keep this window open on your desktop to see the state of the network adapter. The color of the icon reflects the state of the adapter.
7. Click on one or the other of the two newly-created shortcuts to change the state of the network adapter. A cmd window briefly flashes on the screen. This can be eliminated using the procedure mentioned by Try3 in a previous post, if desired.

The solution for Windows 10 is much more cumbersome than the solution for Windows 7. I have to stop using Windows 7 due to the end of Microsoft support, and this is not the first time that I find Windows 10 to be less user friendly than Windows 7.

Thanks, again, to all who have kindly given me help and advice

 

CMD and PowerShell Closing after a couple of seconds, CMD and Powershell closing.

My Laptop is fine i didnt download any viruses, Didnt mess with system files nor modify it. After a normal restart, A message that pops up for half a second saying "This app wont work on this computer" Or something like that (The messages appears and disappears too fast its hard to make out the text) and the cmd icon appears for a split second in the taskbar. I searched for fixes and i got told to use the sfc /scannow command to scan for possibly corrupted or missing files.

I opened CMD and ran the command but it just closes after a few seconds. I tried not inputing any commands and it still did. I tried running it on Powershell and turns out it also closes. I recorded a video of me doing it.

And I have followed several steps to fix my laptop, One of them is like :

1. Follow the instructions on this site You Can See, the instructions I've followed ,Like :

• download and install the tool called Autoruns.
  
• Download Media Creation Tool from Microsoft.
  

But, after I followed this, there is still no change on my laptop.

And how can i recover the command processor folder and does that help with my with cmd problem? If not, How can i fix my cmd?
