Windows 10: "Some users, entities and locations are banned from using this service" when trying to get...

I've seen threads about this but no real solution, and they seem to go back at least 1-2 years with new posts as recently as a few months ago. I am trying to install Windows 11 Pro on a new device, and there are some problems with internet connectivity for that device using the Media Creation tool, so I want to download a full 23H2 ISO. When I try to do this, I get the mentioned error, saying that it could be due to technology to hide my identity. But I am in the United States Michigan, I'm doing this from an activated Windows 11 22H2 computer, in the United States, logged in via a Microso

Location service is greyed out

Hi Shahriar,

Thank you for responding.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused for you, I suggest you to try the below troubleshooting steps and check If it helps.

Step 1: Steps to turn on the Location settings.

• Login as an administrator.
• Press Windows key, type Location settings and select
  Change location settings.
• Check whether Location for this device is On by clicking on
  Change.
• Also turn on Location as well.

Step 2: And as you are unable to set the service Geolocation service to automatic, I suggest you to run SFC scan and check.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
  Enter.
  
• 
  After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.
  

Try to set the service to automatic by following the steps provided in the above post by Praveen Venugopal.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.

 

Anyone want to try a test CompletelyBonkers (new user here) turned me onto?




Need to know your views on WHY I have been scored down on those!

Here are the settings I use below next, on each one, & HOW I APPLIED THEM (tools used):

Each of those is set DISABLED (except Telephony) in services.msc!

(& also has their logon entity set to LOCAL SERVICE in services.msc as well!)

* The latter as a security precaution (ACL)... severely limiting them (even IF someone could remotely turn them on).

I note also, I got FULLY MARKED DOWN, NO POINTS GIVEN, ON THIS SECTION OF THE TEST (even if some of them are set with checkmarks, indicating they are OK? Why is this??)

APK

P.S.=> Some do NOT exist here, & those I get checkmarks/OK ratings on, BUT some are disabled (& more, see below):

• Alerter Service - DISABLED (don't need it, not on LAN w/ central domain server etc.)

• ClipBook Service - DISABLED

• File Replication Service - DISABLED

• HELP & SUPPORT - DISABLED

• Indexing Service - DISABLED

• License Logging Service - DISABLED

• Messenger Service - DISABLED

• NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing - DISABLED

• Remote Access Auto Connection Manager - DISABLED

• Remote Desktop Help Session Manager - DISABLED

• Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator - DISABLED

• Telnet Service - DISABLED

• Wireless Configuration Service - DISABLED

SOME do (like Network Connections, can't do w/ out it & get online)!

QUESTION:

Why then, if I do not even RUN those services, OR they are DISABLED, & additionally have their logon entity set as low as it can go to LOCAL SERVICE (just in case), then, am I getting downgraded on them @ ALL?? apk
