In the wake of CryptoLocker I created a software restrictions policy GPO to protect against infection. After deploying this, I learned that there was a number of programs, installations, MS hot-fixes, etc, that needed to use this folder in order to install or run. Because of that, I disabled the GPO. Now I have one single Windows 8.1 Pro computer that the policy is still taking affect on, even though the GPO policy has been disabled. It's driving me crazy. I'd appreciate any help!
When trying to install and open certain apps (ie. Dropbox) , I get the message:
"Your system administrator has blocked this program. For more information, contact your system administrator."
When trying to install vcredist_x86.exe (Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)) I get the following message:
"The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation"
