"The media sharing has been disabled because a windows required setting or a component has changed."

As well as a few other people here, I got the above message trying to connect for sharing (with my Sony Bravia TV) media. This is the first time I tried to use the media sharing.
I went through the under process, but at step 4. There is no file [security]. I can't use system restore. It could have been this way for years!
All solutions?
Thank you
1. ClickStart.
2 Typeregedit in the search box and press ENTER.
3. Locate the subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences\HME\ [security ID]. The text of the name of the folder security ID is long, consisting of alphanumeric characters that are broken upwards with dashes.
4. right click the [security ID] folder, and then clickPermissions.
5. confirm that your user account is listed as the owner of this subkey under anti-terrorism tab. If your account name is not listed, click and add it to the list of owners. You must be logged on as administrator or member of the administrator group to complete this step.

Hello

Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, if [security ID] folder is not present, then you can go ahead and create a new one. To do this, follow these steps:

a. navigate to the location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences\HME

b. right-click on HME, point to new and select the key

c. This will create a new [security ID] folder

Now, perform the other steps mentioned in my previous post.

Please come back for any clarification on this or any issue of Windows. We will be happy to help you.

  • Sharing multimedia files has been disabled because a windows required setting or a component has changed.

    Earlier today, I was a game on my Xbox 360 and decided I want to play music in the background, using the guide of 360.

    I went to "Select Music", searched my PC in the devices menu, and it does not appear. This has happened before, I just figured out my PC was in place. I went to the 360 Dashboard and looked back to the server. He has not yet shown upward.

    I went to Windows Media Player on the PC that I share the media selected in the dropdown under library and went to share multimedia files. (Here's where it gets confusing...)

    He gave me a message saying "sharing multimedia files has been disabled because a Windows setting required or a component has been changed." I hit very well, and I went back to the sharing of multimedia files. Now, I had the option to check the box "share my media". I checked, hit OK, made sure everything was good to go. The unit has not yet appear on the dashboard. I went back to the sharing of multimedia files. To my surprise, I received always «sharing multimedia files has been disabled...» »

    This is the part of the confusion: if I turn on media sharing, Windows it cuts back.

    I tried all the solutions online that I could find, which includes deleting the files in the Windows Media AppData\Microsoft folder. Register a dll to the administrator. Ensuring that you have the "Windows Media" folder. All take very well.

    Basically I narrowed down it to: nothing works.

    Each person could fix their problem by using the solutions proposed in other posts on other forums/blogs. Mine is recurring. In addition, my media is on a separate internal hard drive, which I added to the Windows Media Player files to add multimedia elements. I went and deleted from here. I still have the problem of sharing.

    All said Microsoft is to restore your computer to a previous state. It's not really useful. I don't want to go just restore. I want to fix it where. In addition: restoration would not help, I don't know how long this problem exists, but I have not known about it.


    -Very well, after a fresh reformat the hard drive and re-installing Windows, I finally reduced the problem.

    I have not had ANY problems with the computer... Until I installed my Adobe CS5 Master Collection again.

    It turns out that the part of the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended software called Adobe Presenter 7 causes the sharing to go haywire.

    I deleted Adobe Presenter 7, and just like that, sharing has increased again.

    In addition, Adobe Acrobat 9 was causing my sidebar to go haywire, so I advanced and which takes off as well.

    Have not had a problem since.

  • The media sharing lights

    I'm trying to set up so I can listen to music through my Xbox media sharing.  Media player file-sharing does not allow me to check the media sharing dialog box.  When I go into network settings to activate the media settings that it puts in place a drop down menu that reads change, but when I hit change of media with the checkboxes player page always grayed out.

    Hello
     
     
    Method 1.
    If you cannot select the share my media check box, you might not be connected to a private network. For your protection, media sharing is automatically disabled when you are connected to a public network. In addition, if you are connected to a domain network, your network administrator can help you turn on media sharing.
     
    If you think that Windows identified by mistake your private network as a public network, you can manually change your network settings. For more information about changing your network settings or about how to turn off sharing for all users of your multimedia computer, see change settings for sharing media in Windows Media Player for

  • After that Ms last update the task manager has changed

    After that the last MS updated, the task manager has changed. I used for the right click at the bottom of the screen, select Task Manager & get 3 or 4? options to select.

    Those I used gave me a chart of the use of Internet + speed info; now, I only get the list of processes, no option & the only way out is to TAP (DO NOT TOUCH!) the ESC key.

    Is this another feature of MS or make me a form of bribery? JV

    Sorry, but I don't really know what the problem is here. In any case, try to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool. Choose the time prior to installation of update from Ms. Everything should be as it was before.

  • The screen resolution has changed.

    After that I have updated to the latest version of Muse, my screen is enlarged. It looks like the screen resolution has changed. How can I change the resolution of the screen on Muse?

    On Windows, 2014.3 Muse now supports 100%, 150% or 200% resolution, according to the scale factor you set in Control Panel. My guess is that you have your control panel set at about 125 per cent and Muse chose the scale factor supported 'closer', which is 150%. We've heard a few users that they would prefer Muse to continue functioning at 100% in this case.

    This sounds like the situation you're in?

    Now, you need to set the scale factor to your screen to 100% having muse running at 100%, but we are working on a solution in the short term to say the Muse to operate at 100% without changing your scale factor of Panel controls.
