  1. Software on removable devices are blocked by an administrator.


    I have multiple softwares that I use and if they are on a removable device, a message pops up saying this app has been blocked by your system administrator. If I move the file to my desktop it works just fine. I am the administrator, I've tried resetting the gpedit.msc, I've looked in properties for the unblock box. I unhid the admin account and tried loading it there. Is there any setting that I'm missing?

    :)

  2. Remove Devices

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are facing issues while removing the device from your Microsoft account as it keeps popping back after removing.



    It could be possible that the device was using OneDrive with the same Microsoft account and that might be the reason you are able to see the device listed under your profile. I would suggest you to remove the device from OneDrive
    and see if that helps.



    You can follow the steps to remove the device from OneDrive.



    1. Login to
      https://onedrive.live.com
      .
    2. Now on the left hand pane click on PC’s.
    3. Now click on the devices that are listed under PC’s and on the right hand side click on
      Remove PC.


    If the issue persists, please get back to us with the results of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.



    Regards,

    Removing a Blocked URL

    Having trouble with removing a Blocked URL. I try to access youtube.com, but a pop up message that say.

    www.youtube.com is blocked
    The person who set up this computer has chosen to block this site.

    • Try contacting the system admin.

    ERR_BLOCKED_BY_ADMINISTRATOR

    Check your administrator's policies
    Visit chrome://policy to see the list of blacklisted URLs and other policies enforced by your system administrator.
    I tried going into Windows Registry, but I couldnt locate anything to help
    me remove it.

    Blocked Software Publishers

    When trying to install driver and support software downloaded from the samsung site I get the error message "This publisher has been blocked from running software on your machine.

    I have been in contact with support about this and all they were able to suggest is the same things I was able to find in old google searches.

    Adding the site to the trusted list via Internet Explorer.

    Changing UAC control settings to the lowest.

    Running program as administrator.

    How can this feature of Windows (blocking certain publishers) be disabled?

    If not then will this be fixed in a update very soon?

    Is there any other way around this such as removing certificates from software completely (I'm willing to make my own judgement call on what I install)

    Because if not then Windows 10 is useless and I would rather go back to Windows 7 than not be able to use all the features on my computer because driver and utility programs are being blocked.
