Windows 10: Involuntarily added to enterprise management, pc failure after certificate removal

coltongibson · Jan 8, 2019

I've been going theythr some serious pc security issues i would like a professional opinion so i know I'm not losing my mind.

Ive learned that windows 10 is essentially windows nt? My os is listed as windows nt in some places but in settings>system info it is listed as windows 10 home. If this normal?

Also my pc keeps being recognized as a server even after reinstalling windows. I'm finding services that after a little research it seems is impo used for server applications and should not be on a pc that is for personal use. After updating windows it says my policies are decided by my organization. After further inspection is shows mmagent as bring that organization. It list windows nt as the owner of my pc. It seems like i am involuntarily being enrolled Into a domain and my pc is being controlled by group policy. I just finished my 4th reinstall i and starteds looking at credential. I have zero windows certificates yet there's one by virtualapp/didlogical that has a username and password. This is a generic credential. Then i started looking at certificates and there's tons of certificates for server authentication and one that is used for code signing that isn't from Windows. It lists all these as third party trusted certificates. I removed the certificate "addtrustexternal" by THEusernetwork and immediately by pc started acting weird. I restarted my pc and got the blue screen. Now I'm performing my 5th reinstall because my pc was unable to repair itself after i removed that certificate. Is any of this normal?

Managing Microsoft Edge in the enterprise

At last year’s Microsoft Ignite conference, we introduced the enterprise story for the web on Windows 10. Microsoft Edge is designed from the ground up to provide a , interoperable, and secure browsing experience; in addition, Internet Explorer 11 is also a part of Windows 10 to help bring all your legacy line of business (LOB) applications forward.

Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 work together to help ease IT management overhead, and also provide a seamless user experience for your users. In this post, we’ll walk through the policies you can use to manage Microsoft Edge in the enterprise for both PCs and mobile devices, including some new policies coming in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update.

Policies currently supported in Microsoft Edge

With Microsoft Edge, we set out to provide a simple, consistent set of scenario-driven management policies to help manage Windows 10 browser deployments on both desktop and mobile. The policies for Microsoft Edge on desktop are available as both Group Policy settings and MDM settings. On mobile they are available as MDM settings.

Here is a summary of all the policies supported by Microsoft Edge grouped by Windows 10 releases:

Available in Windows 10 version 1507 or later:

Configure Autofill

Configure Cookies

Configure Do Not Track

Configure Password Manager

Configure Pop up Blocker

Configure search suggestions in the Address bar

Configure the Enterprise Mode Site List

Configure the SmartScreen Filter

Send all intranet sites to Internet Explorer 11

Available in Windows 10 version 1511 or later:

Allow Developer Tools

Allow InPrivate browsing

Allow web content on New Tab page

Configure Favorites

Configure Home pages (see additional note below)

Prevent bypassing SmartScreen prompts for files

Prevent bypassing SmartScreen prompts for sites

Prevent sharing LocalHost IP address for WebRTC

What’s new in Windows 10 Anniversary update

We have added support for the following new Microsoft Edge management policies as a part of the Windows 10 Anniversary Update:

Allow access to the about:flags page

Allow usage of extensions

Configure WebRTC media port ranges

Show a transitional message when opening Internet Explorer sites

We’ve made a few updates to existing policies based on feedback from customers. First, all of the Microsoft Edge Group Policy settings on desktop are now available in both the User and Machine policy hives. Second, the home page policy configured on a domain-joined device will no longer allow the user to override the setting.

You can find further details on all Microsoft Edge policies on TechNet, including info about Windows 10 policies that also apply to Microsoft Edge, such as Cortana and Sync settings. Your feedback is important to us, so please let us know what you think or if you have any questions about these changes!

Counterflix ad removal

What suggestions did you receive from McAfee?

Did you try the Emsisoft Emergency Kit? How about the Eset Online Scanner?

Did you follow ALL of the steps in https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-counterflix-ads/ and reset all browsers.

Does anyone know how to view or remove digital certificates on Windows 10 Mobile (Lumina 950)?

I reviewed the following,which was for Windows 8, but was unable to resolve my issue.

I've added quite a few certificates, used for IKEv2 VPN testing, however, can not seem to remove old/expired certs.
