  2. Unlocking Restricted Access Due To Group Policy Setting

    Thanks again for the reply.

    I followed your suggested steps, but even though the user shows as being added and active it does not appear on the sign in page as an alternative account.

    Maybe I am giving the command in the wrong directory. When I boot into the recovery environment the directory in command prompt is: x:\windows\system32

    I ran the command from here. But the new added user did not appear on the sign in page.

    I also used the diskpart and list volume command to check on which partition windows is installed. I changed directory to c:\> and again followed your steps. But again the new added user did not appear on the sign in page.

    Can you please give me more instructions on how to remedy my foolish Group Policy restriction?

  3. Unlocking Restricted Access Due To Group Policy Setting

    Good day, I need urgent help!

    I made a big error and feel like a fool.

    I set the Group Policy to only access excel.exe, outlook.exe and firefox.exe thinking that it will not affect my Administrator account. But it did and now I cannot access Command Prompt , Registry Editor, Recovery or Notepad as I get a message .

    “This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer”

    Can anyone help to find a solution for this Group Policy setting?

    Unlocking Restricted Access Due To Group Policy Setting

    Update:

    In the recovery environment I tried to reset my PC to a system recovery point that was automatically created on 27/04/2018. But I received an error that the recovery was unsuccessful and could not completed.

    Do you or anyone else have any further steps I can try to remove the Group Policy restrictions?
