Windows 10: Howto Restore the ownership of jscript.dll to the TrustedInstaller?

Hi!

I took the advice from the Trendmicro which they posted on 20th of January to prevent anyone abusing the IE vulnerability CVE-2020-0674.

This is what I typed in as an adminstrator in a Powershell window:


takeown /f c:\windows\syswow64\jscript.dll


cacls c:\windows\syswow64\jscript.dll /E /P everyone:N

takeown /f c:\windows\system32\jscript.dll


cacls c:\windows\system32\jscript.dll /E /P everyone:N


So far no problem. They also said that the above shown configurations should be reverted before installing the fix that Microsoft would at some point release.


The given commands are:



cacls c:\windows\system32\jscript.dll /E /R everyone

cacls c:\windows\syswow64\jscript.dll /E /R everyone


So before I updated the next time I did just that and thought that everything was fine but I was wrong. Now my VPN couldn't update itself.

I ran:


dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth:

Image Version: 10.0.18363.628

The operation completed successfully


Then I ran the:


sfc /scannow






The CBS.log:

Then I tried to restore the ownership to the TrustedInstaller [1] but I couldn't do it. All goes well untill I try to commit the change and I am told that "If I just had taken the ownership of the object I have to close the properties of the object and open them again before I can examine or change the privileges".






Could you help me to solve this problem?



Yours Sincerely

Restore WindowsApps permissionss to TrustedInstaller

Initially I got the same error that said “NTService\TrustedInstaller is not from a domain listed in the Select Location dialog box, and is therefore not valid.”

My problem was the lack of a space in "NT Service\TrustedInstaller."

I got this solution from a post by Sergey Tkachenko at Restore the TrustedInstaller ownership in Windows 10
