Windows 10: Reset security

Hi,


I've been playing around a bit too much with security settings local security policies, group policies,... for learning purposes and I'm getting stuck now. That's not very smart, I know. So I'm looking for a solution to reset everything to standard settings without doing a windows reset, if ever it is possible.


Cheers

That made me so facepalm. Some people have absolutely no clue. I hope they don't take you for granted with all this you're doing for them.

SonicWall is a good security product, so Mindweaver's suggestion sounds like a good one and should make for a rather bigger baby step. Let's hope they take it.

 

Cannot remove stored Windows Security Passwords and User Name

Hi,

Thank you for your response.

• Is your PC connected to Domain?

I suggest you to try Optimizing the Internet Explorer and check if it helps.

>> Follow the below images and check if it helps.

• I suggest you to delete the browsing history in General Tab
  and click Apply.

• Then I suggest you to Reset the Security Zone Level or
  customize the Zone level in Security tab and click
  Apply.

• I suggest you to Clear SSL in the Content Tab
  and click Apply.

• I suggest you to Check all the SSL certificates
  in Advanced Tab and click Apply.

• Perform all the above steps and check if the same issue persists in Internet Explorer.

Disclaimer: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might also reset parental control
settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature. Resetting Internet Explorer isn't reversible, and all previous settings are lost after reset.

Hope this information helps. Keep us posted to help you better.

 

Microsoft Edge TLS Security

After trying everything (not a lot of steps) listed in the Microsoft Edge support site, I did a wider search and found this very simple youtube video that fixed it immediately:

For those who prefer not to click links the steps are simple:

1. Click in the Cortana search bar next to the Win 10 Start button

2. Type internet options

3. Select internet options (control panel) from the list

4. Click on the advanced tab

5. Scroll down to the security section

6. Make sure the following are all clicked:
Use SSL 3.0
Use TLS 1.0
Use TLS 1.1
Use TLS 1.2

7. Click apply

8. Refresh the page that was giving the error and it should now connect.

Hope this helps, it was a 30 second fix after hours of pounding my head against the error with the Support site suggestions.
