Windows 10: Is there a way to unblock or bypass usb restrictions? Or maybe an alternative.

I’m a photographer in high school taking a photography course. One project we need to do is to upload photos we have taken and describing elements and principals about them. I have a external hard drive with around 300gb of data that has all my photos I’ve taken. I tried to plug it into my school laptop and it pops up saying “Access is denied.” Something like a mouse works perfectly fine on the laptops. I have a friends who works for the school and he says that they blocked them through a firewall and need an administrator login to enable. I asked the tech person and they said they can’t do anything about it and that I should use the school provided one drive. The one drive has plenty of space but it’s not something I would be updating when I take photos and I’m going to be using my hard drive a lot during my classes. I was thinking of buying a usb to lighting for my phone and just doing things on my phone and emailing them to myself but I was wondering if there was some alternative possible to this. Thanks!

Bypassing Bezel Management restrictions??

Does anyone know how to bypass these restrictions short of actually flashing the EDID of the monitors? One would think there should be a toggle in the registry somewhere...

 

Add Unblock File Context Menu in Windows 10  

How to Add Unblock File Context Menu in Windows 10


The Attachment Manager is included in Windows to help protect your PC from unsafe attachments that you might receive with an e-mail message and from unsafe files that you might save from the Internet. If the Attachment Manager identifies an attachment that might be unsafe, the Attachment Manager prevents (blocks) you from opening the file, or it warns you before you open the file.

It uses the IAttachmentExecute application programming interface (API) to find the file type, to find the file association. When one of these applications saves a downloaded file on a disk formatted with NTFS, then it updates the metadata for the file with the zone it was downloaded from. The metadata is saved as an Alternate Data Stream (ADS). If you wish to unblock a downloaded file, you can do so by right-clicking it, selecting Properties and clicking on Unblock.

The following determine whether you are prevented from opening the file or whether you are warned before you open the file:

• The type of program that you are using.
• The file type that you are downloading or trying to open
• The security settings of the Web content zone that you are downloading the file from.
  • Internet
  • Local intranet
  • Trusted sites
  • Restricted sites

The Attachment Manager classifies files that you receive or that you download based on the file type and the file name extension. Attachment Manager classifies files types as high risk, medium risk, and low risk.

• High Risk – If the attachment is in the list of high risk file types and is from the restricted zone, Windows blocks the user from accessing the file. If the file is from the Internet zone, Windows prompts the user with a Windows Security Warning: Windows found that this file is potentially harmful. To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to this file.
• Moderate Risk – If the attachment is in the list of moderate risk file types and is from the restricted or Internet zone, Windows prompts the user with a warning: "The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?".
• Low Risk – If the attachment is in the list of low risk file types, Windows will not prompt the user before accessing the file, regardless of the file’s zone information.

The Open File - Security Warning prompt is a security measure that will ask for your permission before opening a file on your PC that came from an unknown source such as the Internet or another PC.

Windows SmartScreen helps keep your PC safer by warning you before running unrecognized apps and files downloaded from the Internet.

Open File - Security Warning and Windows SmartScreen automatically blocks these types of apps and files until you unblock them.

If you like, you can add Unblock to the context menu of files and folders to make unblocking files easier as needed.

When you click on Unblock in the context menu of a blocked file, you will be prompted by either a Open File - Security Warning or Windows Defender Smartscreen dialog to approve unblocking the file without opening or running the file.

When you click on Unblock in the context menu of a folder, you can select to Unblock files only in this folder or Unblock files in this folder and subfolders. You will not get prompted by a Open File - Security Warning or Windows Defender Smartscreen dialog to approve.

*note If you do not have access rights (permissions) to a file, the Unblock context menu will not unblock the file for you.

This tutorial will show you how to add or remove an Unblock file context menu to files and folders for all users in Windows 10.

*note While you must be signed in as an administrator to add and remove the "Unblock" context menu, all users can use the context menu when added.

The "Unblock" context menu will be available when you right click or shift + right click on a file or folder.

Shawn

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?
