I am needing to install a driver update for my network adapter and believe a malware is giving error "This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator." and not allowing me to install from the flash drive

:)

 

Error 1625: This installation is forbidden by system policy

error 1625: this installation is forbidden by system policy. contact your system administrator.

Original title/subject: error

 

Installation forbidden by system policy

The device in question is a SanDisk 16gb usb drive. It works ok on this Win 7 computer, and it works ok on another Win 10 computer, but on one Win 10 machine I get this message, "The installation of this device is forbidden by system policy."

What's the fix?
