We are currently testing Software Restriction Policies and ran into a problem with the process. We have Windows 10 Pro so we are using Software Restriction Policies.
The policy is Computer based and its applied to a single PC at this point.
Our default security level is Disallowed.
Enforcement is All software files
Policies apply to ALL users
We enforce certificate rules
We have added the following from Designated Fie Types
WSF (Windows Script File)
JAR (Executable Java File)
JS (JavaScript File)
Path rules are in place to allow files to run from various locations.
Once the policy is applied and the PC restarts the PC does not boot into Windows. After the Dell logo load we see a animation of dots spinning in a circle (like windows is loading). We let our PC sit for about 30 minutes and it never gets past this spot. We have to restore the the PC to a previous recoveyr point to gane use of the system again.
Without the policy in place we see these same dots spinning in a circle for about 1 second before Windows loads.
Our path rules allow for executables to run from various locations
(Default HKEY Rules)
C:\ProgramFiles
C:\ProgramFiles (x86()
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft
C:\Windows
(along with other paths)
What am I doing wrong?
