Windows 10: Start-up item enable / disable access for users

Hello,


Need help to create a group policy to allow users to enable / disable startup items under taskmanager , currently these options are greyed.



- All client machines are latest version of win 10

- Domain 2016

:)

 

Recent items not showing in quick access or start list


Hi there,

I've only just upgraded to windows 10, so still getting to grips. I have the recent items option enabled in both the quick access panel and jump lists, but they're appearing in neither. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Many thanks

 

Enable or Disable NTFS Last Access Time Stamp Updates in Windows 10

How to Enable or Disable NTFS Last Access Time Stamp Updates in Windows 10


The Last Access Time stamp displays an updated time each file and folder on a NTFS volume was last accessed.

In the System Managed mode, the NTFS driver can enable or disable the Last Access updates during the boot (in particular, when the system volume is mounted). The Last Access updates are enabled for NTFS volumes when the size of the system volume (which is usually mounted as the C: drive) is 128 GB or less. If the system volume is larger, then the Last Access updates are disabled.

In the User Managed mode (recommended), the status of the Last Access updates isnt modified by the system during the boot. "Last Access" will stay enabled or disabled as you set.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing with access files and folders.

Do let us know the complete error code/ error message of this issue?

As you have tried with providing the permissions to each folder and issue persists after the restart, try the below and check if it helps.

Step 1: Try to disable the third party anti-virus software if installed any and check.

Step 2: As, as a work around, I suggest you to enable the built-in administrator account and check if this issue persists.

Steps to enable Built-in administrator.

• • Press Windows + X key together on your desktop screen.
  • Click on Command Prompt (admin) to open Command Prompt.
    
  • Type the following command and hit Enter:

• net user administrator /active: yes (Check for the spaces)

　　　4. Now log off from the current user and try to login to the administrator account that is enabled.　　

Note: Please follow the same steps and type net user administrator /active: no to disable admin account after the troubleshooting is done.　

Step 3: I suggest you to refer to the below Microsoft article with 3-diffrent issues related to accessing the files and folders and check if it helps.
