New want: set group policy not available in this edition of Windows 8?

Just before I used my recovery on Envy 6 partition I bought less than a month ago, I tried to define group policy in order to take control of my administrator account. I received an error message: "group policy is not a feature of this edition of Windows 8.1."

I knew My Envy 6 security problems (in my opinion, nothing to envy about it...) since I got it.

I have known this same problem several times, with different computers, then perhaps it is not just HP.  However, I spent the time shared an office with two of its engineers, who blew me subject my security concerns.

What happens first, did someone other than I turn my computer and started using my machine as a distributed resource.  When I look at the resource monitor, the memory usage remains at a stable level around 30%; the window of the disk (Disk 0, I presume) remains at about 100%, for several minutes after I started working.  There is evidence that copies of the countless applications are pushed through this channel to an unknown person to me.

In other words, it's like I had to work in a large company where administrators are able to share my computers memory and storage (and also, copies of programs on my machine) with others.

Yesterday, I took my machine at Best Buy Geek Squad for the third time since I bought it less than a month ago.  For the first time, they have me seriously on this security issue.  Yesterday, the fourth time I used my security partition, (once I had looked into the Task Manager and saw more than 50 tasks scheduled to run when the machine has been slowed and on current alternative) I decided to see what would happen if I leave the fully charged battery to work.

What I saw, it was a machine to panic.  I saw a sequence of four first screenshots, then a flash of a task list, and then a series that looked like screen shots again - this time fourteen of them.  I watched it happen to three different times.  Then, the machine made me a 'Capital A administrator' password, which I didn't.

I looked around resources here and on Windows and discovered that I could access boot options by turning on the machine and pressing the ESC key.  I ran through the list of options there and finally chose EFI, where I finally has two ways to start at an unknown address.  So that's another trick of Geek Squad was in order (I bought their contact service when I bought the machine, what the devil).  This time there was pretty much irrefutable evidence that something was wrong at the level of Internet security.

I realized that it is way to much information.  I'll ask just once more the question: is it possible that my brand new machine doesn't really have a 8.1 Windows edition that does not include the ability to group policy management?

Thanks to all who responded here.

Hi @ElizaDoolittle8

Thank you for your request, I am happy to help you!

I understand that you have some security issues. You have taken your computer to the Best Buy Geek squad, 3 times and have used the 4 times recovery partition.

Only Windows 8 Ultimate and professional have the Group Policy Manager.

I suggest you do a full restore in the factory.  This will remove all the threats that may be installed.

If you don't have virus protection, I would say that you install one because it would help.

Performing a recovery of HP (Windows 8) system

During the recovery process, you will have an option to backup your personal files to avoid loss.  If you do not have a recent backup I suggest you only do one now.

Restore files that have been supported to the top using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8)

Here is a link to a YouTube video.  Desktop version of Windows 8 open the Group Policy Management Console

Here is a third-party link to How to activate 'Group Policy Editor' (gpedit.msc) in Windows 7 Home Premium, Home Basic and Starter Editions? who, according to some readers have worked for them.  You can try it, but I don't know if it works or

not. (of A? KVG)

I hope this helps.

  • "The product key does not work with this edition of Windows 7", but I have not changed anything

    Suddenly this week 7 Windows has stopped working and the error message said I might have a non-genuine copy, etc.   I checked the product key by using the Start/computer/properties menu. The product key was not the same as on my PC, so I tried to get the right version. Then I got the error message that you have entered the product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7, and I want to run Windows 7 set up or enter a professional product key.

    Hello

    You can use this Recovery Partition to reinstall Vista to his new condition with the right edition of Vista.

    This recovery partition was photographed on your hard drive by HP during the manufacturing of the factory.

    You press F11 on startup to start the process of recovering back to factory settings.

    Here is the information about HP.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?DocName=c00809678&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=18703

    If the recovery partition is damaged, you can buy HP's Vista recovery discs for a small fee.

    If HP's Vista recovery disks, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    Hello

    Recently the computer in business inherited from a friend, very fast and very good.

I took a screenshot of what it says when I put Vista Ultimate product key: (it does not appear if you are unable to use it: P)

    How would the installation of Windows Vista? My files would still be there when you need him? My drivers would still exist? No matter what to get deleted or become unusable? He would return to SP1? Any response is welcome.

    You can order form of the manufacturer's recovery media.

    The reason why the system as non-authentique shows currently is using a license in Volume KMS - these licenses must be re-activated at least every 6 months by connecting to the KMS user license activation server.

    It will require a reformat and reinstall whatever you do, unless you can connect to the KMS - Volume media server cannot be upgraded under normal conditions.

    Post edited by: Catherine Rollet

    Hello dragoness13,

    Here's an update on this issue.

    Reason: Following an internal problem, association of account user of Muse and the corresponding user BC account breaks after Muse put 2015.2 to date. It is originally Muse to do not be able to enumerate the users existing sites BC to publish to the dialog Business Catalyst. The issue is addressed in Muse engineering team. Meanwhile, use the workflow as shown below.

    Solution/solution:

    1. Create a new site from Muse
    2. Publish it as a new trial to Business Catalyst site
    3. Close and reopen the Muse
    4. Open the affected site of Muse
    5. Publish on Business Catalyst now

    Try this and let me know if it works for you.

    Thank you

  • Function is not available for this responsibility... install a new ecr...

    Hello
    I installed a new custom application on a Linux server. I followed exactly the steps on Metalink Note: 70276.1.

    The problem is that I get the message "function is not available in this responsibility. It seems that something wrong is with regard to the path of the functions/forms...
    BUT,
    After I put the custom variable env XXTEST and restart the application... server that issues the command:
    echo $XXTEST dir that points to is displayed as expected...
    In addition, all directories (void) and all forms (fmx and fmb thus) have the privs "rwx" for all users and groups of users.
    BasePath declared this custom application registration is identical to that stated in the custom EPS file that is called when the base apps env file comes from.

    I tried to copy all the files of fmx in custom, application files (for all lang installed) and change the info from basepath_top of this new custom application. The result was successful... I mean I launches the all-new custom appl (all forms) under an other custom folders...

    Do you have any idea what may be wrong...?

    Notes; EBS v. 11.5.10.2, Linux: RHEL 4.6.
    Thank you

    SIM,

    This is explained in the second note referenced in my previous answer (define a product_top).

  • Feature not available on this responsibility for a new custom application

    Hello
    I followed all the steps (with the exception of the concurrent Manager, using the line) described in Metalink Note: 70276.1, 216589.1 and the document titled: "how to integrate applications with custom applications."(à condition que comme une autre Metalink Note, je ne me souviens pas qui dès maintenant...) 11i version ".

    The problem occurs when after connecting as a new user created... .lets say XXTEST (with a XXTESTRESP responsibility) calls a function (form). The error message "Feature is not available to this responsibility" occurs...

    What I need to do something else... (for example to run the automatic configuration, because I modified the file custom env that was created to set and export the variables in custom applications created)...?

    When I source the APPSORA.env file, I get the contents of the env variable: echo $XXTEST_TOP according to the needs...
    /.../.../xxtest/11.5.0

    Note: I use EBS 11.5.10

    Thank you very much
    SIM

    Did you bounce application services after setting the CUSTOM_TOP in the env file?

    I recently bought a new camera from Sony a7 - ii.  the first time I tried to import raw images taken with it (with a. Suffix ARW) the program says "Preview not available for this file" and then "files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom" I have the most updated version, I think as 5.7.  What should I do to get these files imported as raw files?

    Hi Bobsirkus,

    The camera you have is compatible with the latest version of Lightroom, which is Lightroom 6/CC.

    Please see the list of the camera supported by Lightroom: supported by Adobe Camera Raw devices

    You can use the DNG Converter, converts images and then import them into DNG in Lightroom.

    Kind regards

  • Why grow new update is not available in this store (4002).  This response is for S apps

    Notifications: new Samsung push updated.  When I accept the update notification comes back "not available in this store (4002).  What does that mean?

    Some applications of Samsung also have the same notification

    This is a problem with Samsung push notifications, many people have the same problem as myself included. It has nothing to do with the PS touch.

  • iPhoto has stopped working. When I try to download the latest version, I massage "this update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or the item has been refunded or cancelled."... why?

    Mac OS X 10.10.3 and newer include Photos, which is designed as a replacement for iPhoto. If you want to go on the use of iPhoto in addition to or instead of switch to Photos, click here and try following the instructions; you will only be able to do if you got before where associated with iPhoto on the Mac App store.
