  1. Windows won't let me change any settings


    My MMOs won't load, causing auto reboots. In attempting to fix problem (still an issue) the fixes required modifying various settings. Windows won't let me change any settings. I navigate, click on the setting I want, click "ok" or "apply" and leave the screen. I can go right back in and I am back on the previous setting. I have even run as admin. and this happens. I am not very computer savvy but can follow instructions

    :)

    Are you the Administrator of the computer or someone else setup the account for you?

    If someone setup your account for you, you should should create an entirely new account then:

  3. Family Settings won't let me open any other browser but edge.

    I got home and I couldn't use google or firefox. I looked and my family settings show I'm not even in a family, yet the parental controls are still not letting me do stuff. How do I fix this, and why were these settings activated on my account, and why
    can I not just deactivate this messy parental control system.

    Windows won't let me change any settings

    Which version of 10? Microsoft stole a lot of stuff from Pro, and only allows Volume and Enterprise to have the GPO editing stuff now.

    Windows 10 Version 1607 Build 14393.447 is the most current Released version. I consider a Build, from a practical standpoint, the same as a Service Pack as used with Win7. There is also Version 1607 Build 14971.xxx called the Insider Preview or test version. Have to know much more about the version Windows in use than ever before and posting of that information.
