When you try to access the windows Defender message this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer
Help
Hi baulchy,
1 when was the last time it was working fine?
2. did you of recent changes on the computer?
3. you have any security software installed on the computer?
Method 1
Check and make sure that the Windows defender service is running on the computer.
(a) click Start type services.msc in the Search box, and then click OK.
(b) in the Services (Local) list, right-click Windows Defender, and then click Properties.
(c) if the drop-down list Startup type is set to the value off, select Automatic from the drop-down list Startup type and then click OK.
(d) click the file menu and then click exit.
Method 2
If the previous step fails then I would suggest that you scan and remove infections of malware or viruses on the use of the scanner online in the link below and check if it helps.
The scan below only works on the 32-bit version of Windows

You can use the Microsoft security essentials to scan your computer

I hope this helps!

Whenever I try to open Avira Antivrus and Windows Defender, I get this message: "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. "I am the administrator and I have not set restrictions. It worked, but started recently and I can't find answers. All solutions?
Hi I_GHall
It seems that you receive the message you want to software conflicts. I suggest you try to disable either the Avira antivirus and windows defender and then check if the problem resolves.
If you disable any security software for troubleshooting temporarily, so don't forget to activate after troubleshooting is completed that your computer will be at risk.

Start your computer in safe mode

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 provided in the above article.
Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.
Let us know the results.

Ana I try to access Windows Defender, I get the message "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. "I am the administrator of the system and connected. What can I do to clear this up?
Hello
read this information on the Defender:
· If you use microsoft security essentials avg avira mcafee norton etc they disable the vista version of windows defender by default
the basics of Microsoft security has its own version of windows defender
and other anti-virus programs use their own particular type of application to scan for spyware and malware
It of nothing to worry and is the default action, which is designed for them to do
If the above does not apply to your machine to read the information on the below link on how to disable the windows defender service in vista or make an autostart to enable
and here is the method to remove it from startup in vista
http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/remove-Windows-Defender-from-Vista-system-startup/
and this is how you would normally activate or disable windows defender in vista from within defenders of own and options tools
http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/disable-Windows-Defender-for-Microsoft-Vista/
and read this information to microsoft:
Error message when you run Windows Defender: «Error 0x800106ba»
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931849
and if you need to change startup programs read this information on the other methods of doing it without using defender
using msconfig read this tutorial:
How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista
Here's how to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista to disable some unnecessary programs that load automatically at startup
http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html
and also try this FREE program Autoruns:

These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services more

It is a roaming profile with policies. When a USB flash drive is plugged in for the first time, it installs but with invites it multiple restriction. The drive can be accessed and be used as usual after instillation. If the player is plugged into the same computer for the second time, there is no prompt. This also occurs on the readers no U3. Works as usual later with newly charge of roaming profile.
To be clear, I want that users can access USB drives.
I asked my dear friend Google, but he doesn't seem to know and I checked the policy, what don't get me?
