• Impossible to cancel the restrictions of the GPO on access to items in the control panel.

  Hello world

  gently, I am in desperate need of help!

  This is for a new brand, out of the box, computer with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit (no need to suspect a virus or malware, etc., as the computer is not part of a domain controller). I have set up on this computer an object of applied and local group policy on a user who belongs to the Administrators Local Group. Basically, the GPO has been to "don't show only specified control panel items". the only element of Panel I want to be displayed so that the user has been the "programs and features". Therefore, in the Group Policy object editor, I used the canonical name "Microsoft.ProgramsAndFeatures." everything has worked out very well...

  However, and to my surprise, all other users, including the administrator built-in, lose access to everything in the control panel. To try to solve the problem, I have disabled the "Show only items specified Control Panel", and then put it on "not configured". However, the problem remained the same. I then did a "remove Group Policy object" the specified user still persists and all users cannot view items in Control Panel. Suggestions please!

  Thanks in advance!

• Downloaded updated, its control panel no longer work.

  Last week, I downloaded some updates after doing so my sound did not work, clicking on the button sound on the task bar opened a convenience store saying that the one or more audio services is not running. By clicking on additional information opens a window Panel which is how I discovered this Panel is more worked, the window with the path displayed above, system but was frozen completely and would display the loading on the cursor circle when it moved above the window. The Control Panel window is displayed in the control on the task bar, but the Task Manager appears as windows Explorer in the Task Manager and closing the window leads to a blank screen until the computer is restarted.

  I ran an AVG scan and a Malwarebytes scan that found a few system files corrupted and removed. Because I was unable to install updates via Control Panel, being that it didn't work, I tried to install via the command prompt by using the file system check, but the process has frozen as soon as I launch it.

  One of my friends who have had a similar with its sound problem could remedy this by using malwarebytes to find and remove the corrupted files that were in the updates and was able to re install using windows updater, but since the control panel don't work not on my computer or I am at a loss to know how to fix it without erasing all the data from my computer.

  Hello Brandon,.

  Please keep us updated on the State of the question, appreciate the time taken by you by providing all the details with persistence.

  Looks like the problem is more than just hidden items in Control Panel. Sometimes, this kind of unexpected behavior indicated by Windows because of some important system files missing or corrupt. I suggest you to rum Microsoft Safety Scanner SFC/scannow to analyse the integration of system and fix any corruption.

  The command sfc/scannow (System File Checker) analyses all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us

  If the System File Checker does not help, we can try to create a new user profile (just for the purposes of diagnosis) with administrator privileges and check if the problem persists in the new user account as well.

  Please follow this link to create a new user account.

What should be is the problem?  Total 15 pc accesses this share all windows 7 except a Xp machine, is that occur only a few times, this time I make restart the pc (Win 7) then xp machine can access.

  Hello

  ·         Do you have an error message when you browse to Windows 7 from Windows xp?

  ·         Is that what happens on all windows machines 7 or a particular machine?

  I suggest temporarily disabling software antivirus (and any other security software) and firewall on the Windows 7 computer as a test and check if this solves the problem. Follow the steps in the link:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  If disabling the antivirus software solves the problem, you may need to configure the settings of the antivirus as a result program.

  Note: make sure that you enable the antivirus software, other security and firewall programs.

  Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Alternatively, you can follow the steps described in the links for Windows 7:

• Why some CC 2014 applications in the control panel have a button "Try"?

  Sorry if this is a stupid question, but it's confusing and I found no answer anywhere:

  In the application of office creative cloud, in the "applications" section, Dreamweaver and Flash show a button "Try" Apart from the 2014 version and an "Update" button next to the original version of 2013. Why these 2014 apps do not have the buttons 'install '? This didn't happen with other apps like Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere Pro, 2014.

  There are also buttons 'Try' next to other applications, like InDesign, 2014 that were part of the CP 2013, well I didn't install on this machine. (I install on my other machine.) Here is no longer part of the suite CC?

  I subscribed to the Master Collection, and there is no correlation between the appearance of the Try/set buttons to update / install and if an initial claim of CC 2013 is already installed or uninstalled.

  

  My problem is now solved. In case anyone else has this problem: I contacted the Adobe Support via chat. The support rep had me sign out of the creative cloud app, then sign. If he did anything on its end, I don't know. But all the buttons try have disappeared, and all that says either Install or update.

• Cannot change the update of Java through the control panel (64-bit version)

  Windows 7 SP1 x 64
  
  Hello
  
  Since no direct feedback to Oracle is possible (the form does not), I use this forum for your comments. Feedback is intended for Oracle, but I appreciate any input from the community.
  
  The x 64 version of Java JRE installation gives you all access to settings update via Control Panel-> Java link. However, Setup installs and activates the update of Java without any recognition of the user. In case you do not want to have a background task running periodically check the updates you must manually change the registry to get rid of this process.
  
  It is bad programming and must be changed with the next update.

  Unfortunately, Oracle look here, it is a programming user to user forum. And they decide for themselves what should or should not set (as you may have noticed see how the Java 7 is handled); If you want any type of control that you will need to get a support contract.

• The Control Panel Windows Update issue

  Have an ASUS computer 64 laptop w/i5 processor running updates of Win7 w / all through 5/16. Update via Control Panel stopped working. When I opened the update, I get a message telling me to restart the PC updates can take place. After reboot, I went back to the same screen and prompt to reboot again.

• Control Panel System Windows Explorer has stopped working

  When I press on the Control Panel, system, I get an error "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and then control panel stops. I get this error every time I have to perform this action. When I run my PC on Safe Mode, it works fine and I get no error and I'm able to run the options that appear when the 'Systems' option is selected. Other tasks in the control panel seem to work correctly.  I also noticed that I get similar messages "windows Explorer or the program has stopped working" periodically when I perform other tasks in internet explore, etc.

  I tried all the recommendations described in of KB/269949 and KB/929135 knowledge articles and many items in the Microsoft community, Microsoft and the Internet site. For example, update the video driver, auditor of file system (CFS), Virus scan, Mode safe, clean boot, memory RAM test, etc.. I also tried all the relevant actions I could think under the Microsoft Fix tool. Each of them has not solved the problem.

  I have a laptop Acer Aspire 5742 G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 with 8 GB of memory, running Windows 7 with all the latest updates installed, so all drivers have been updated. I also use the last IE 11 with all updates.

  If anyone knows a similar problem with Windows 7, Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer 11, or has a recommendation how to fix?

  Hi Ravi,

  This is an update to my problem. It might be useful to others with similar problems.

  My problem has not been resolved, but I decided to live with it. It was a difficult decision after a major disaster, I almost lost everything on my PC to try and solve the problem.

  I put the finger on the problem with the graphics ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 version 8.741.1.5000 dated dated 25/08/2010 driver. I noticed that when I check for an update using Control Panel, Device Manager, select the graphics card above and updates, windows comes back with a message indicating that it is the best available driver.

  I made the mistake to check the AMD website to see if there is a newer driver. According to their instructions and download their program, they recommended a more recent drive using the catalyst for AMD. The new driver is Version 14.301.1001.0 dated 15/09/2014 date. The same driver is also selected if I the Slimdrivers application user. With this new driver, the problem disappeared. In other words, I was able to use the Control Panel, System menu and access the submenus system without any problems. I thought I had solved the problem. I repeated the process and checked for the driver from the Windows Control Panel, Device Manager and look for the updates. Surprise. This review of windows update back to the original version of the 25/08/2010. The problem is back again. I repeated this process with re-installing Catalyst from AMD with the same results.

  However, I noticed that the AMD Catalyst, never finished the installation and the installation crashed. Updated the driver before it crashed.

  My major problem occurred when I tried to restart the PC with the new driver installed by AMD Catalyst. My PC and Windows would not start. He gave me a number of errors that the problem cannot be corrected. I tried all the solutions, Safe Mode, point to restore, System Restore and all the choices given in the articles from Microsoft. None of them worked.

  Finally, after many hours, days and nights that I was able to use an Acer recovery disk, I created when I bought the laptop. One on the Image worked system recovery options and I could get my PC to a more ancient date. The driver is the original edition of 2010 the year with the same problem.

  Therefore, I decided to live with the problem. I can access the submenus of system using startup and entering in the auxiliary system option in the search box. I wrote these submenus.

  WARNING TO OTHER USERS. DO NOT TRY to UPDATE THE ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470, 8.741.1.5000 driver version dated 25/08/2010, using catalyst of MCDA.

  Furthermore, my assessment is that if I try to restore my PC to the factory default condition, once all windows updates are installed and I install my apps, the same problem will occur. If I did think I would lose a lot of useful applications, which I'm not sure that I can restore. I have a lot of useful data that I use for more than 20 years and I can't afford to lose their jobs. I would live with the problem until something more grand occurs. In this case, I would by a new laptop. I would make sure that there no AMD ATI products on this topic.

  Thanks again for the time. There is no reason to answer, unless as described above, you have seen something new.
