Why isn't the local users and groups in Windows 7 Home Premium active?

Unfortunately, the page of "Compare editions" for Windows 7 does not show that it is disabled for Windows 7 Home Premium.  So, I think that Microsoft is engaged in false advertising by activating only not this snap-in Control Panel.


Bottom line is: I need to access the Panel to ensure that I am in the Visual Studio debugger users group.  So, I can't debug anything.  The software does not work properly.


Microsoft should immediately activate this feature.

I'm sorry, but no original version of Windows has always included local users and groups .

I recommend posting your question in the MSDN Visual Studio Forums , where other developers can answer. They know how to do what you want.

  • Cannot access the local users and groups

    Hello everyone, I got this error since April 2010:
    Cannot access the computer ComputerName. The error was: invalid syntax.

    It is not really bad for me, because I used to use the cmd console.

    I followed several recommendation to solve this error, but without success. Many colleagues have the same error. About 100 of the 500 have this problem.
    Don't tell me to reinstall the PC because it is not possible. I have no spare time to set my PC again and install all required software. And to reinstall the PC isn't sollution.

    Re-register the dll or other files not work. Not work replace the msc or cpl files. Installation of the admin packs, technical resource kits or installer also not work.

    No errors in the application logs, no errors in the system log, no errors in the security logs. GPO is clear. The same mistake in compmgmt.msc, lusrmgr.msc, or when I add the MMC snap-in. So I guess that the error in the XML (MS XML) parser tool or in the msc file.

    Do someone have the solution for this?

    Yet once the relocation no solution!

    Hi Peter,.

    In this case, I would say that you post your question in the Microsoft TechNet forums such that there is a problem with more than 100 computers.

  • Suddenly can't access local users and groups permissions list

    In computer management (my computer / manage) "Local users and groups" icon has a red x on it and when I click on it I get this message:

    Local users and groups
    Unable to access the computer {computer name} toa. The error was: library not registered.

    How can I find which library is not registered, so I can register?

    BTW, this is one of several very similar problems that began to arrive after the last update of Microsoft Windows Vista.

    Hello GCCarvill,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft answers Forum.

    If you have a system restore point, before applying the updates would be the fastest way to restore the library file
    who is missing. Use the following article to restore to an earlier point in time. Don't forget to create a manual restore point before using an earlier version of the operating system.

    936212 KB - how to repair the operating system and how to restore the configuration of the operating system to an earlier point in time in Windows Vista
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936212

    You can also create a manual system restore point so that you can restore in case of problems.
    How to create a system restore point manually:
    Right-click on the computer icon in the desktop, then choose Properties
    In the left pane, click System Protection
    Alternatively, to directly access the System Protection tab, click Start and type SystemPropertiesProtection.exe.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    Click the System Protection tab and then click on create.
    In the System Protection dialog box, type a description, and then click on create.

    After the search for the other forums, I found another user having a similar problem. They used a tool called FileMon and after comparison, they discovered a file called activeds.tlb was missing. They have restored a copy in the system32 directory and
    was then able to access the local users and groups successfully. You can download a copy of FileMon of:

  • Don't Win 7 Home Premium no local users and groups under computer management

    I am trying to create local groups, but when I go into computer Managemmt as an admin there no option groups in the tree.  Aide said it is in "computer Management\System Tools\Local and Groups\Groups users", but the only options I have under system tools are planner of the event viewer, shared folders, Performance and device - not local users and groups management tasks.  No idea how I can get access to this?

    I think that it is only available if you have Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition. Bob Larson Access MVP

  • Win 7 Pro - all users in local users and groups

    Hello I have a new install of Windows 7 Pro with two users; Administrator (built in) and my personal user (CCzahor). I can connect to windows very well with both users.  When I right click my computer and manage them, there is no user appearing in "users and groups / users.  However, if I go to groups, double-click 'Administrators', I see Director listed, and I see CCzahor under "users".  In addition, when I run lusrmgr.msc, I see the same thing as described above, but when I run netplwiz.msc, I see the admin and CCzahor displayed in the list.

    It is not functionally a problem, but rather a nuisance than anything else.  Any ideas?

    Hello

    Please provide a detailed description of the issue.

    I understand the inconvenience you encountered. I will certainly help you with information.

    Note: Users and groups is located in computer management. A collection of administrative tools that you can use to manage a local computer or a remote computer. Please see the link below.

    https://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770756.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

    Important: Under local users and groups, you must click users to see users and groups. And if the two accounts you have in the system have administrator permissions, it's going to be reflective under the administrator group.

    I hope this information is useful.

  • Upgrade Windows Vista Home Premium (not the valid product key problem) to Windows 7 Home premium

    My friend gave a laptop computer whose OS is Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.  I format the computer and install a Windows Vista Home Premium I have for my desktop computer.  Now, I have a problem with a product key.  When I start the laptop, it indicates a product key requirement.  I enter my desktop OS product key, but I still see the declaration valid product key.  My question is this.  If I buy the upgrade to Windows 7, the operating system will work in the laptop even if she has a problem with the product key.  If I buy Windows 7 upgrade, there will be no problem with the product key?  Or do I have to buy a new Windows Vista Home Premium for the laptop?  Or if you know anywhere I can buy a product key for Windows Vista with a reasonable price?  Thank you

    You cannot transfer a license from another computer to another computer, especially if the license came with this machine. You will need to purchase a new license.

    Yes, you can purchase a license of Windows 7 Edition upgrade Home Premium and use it.

  • No options display in the regions and languages of Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Hello

    I need a support from you,

    I bought a setrday tour here in Germany with Windows 7 Home Premium. But it came with Deutsch as a base language that I have no idea how work with the menu of the screen of welcome and all in German and I'm on pain. I am an Indian and working with the English and not able to find an option called 'Display language' keyboard and languages to change the display language tab. How if I could do that. Help, please.

    The ability to change the language is one of the features that distinguishes the pinnacle of the cheaper versions - product differentiation. Like any company Microsoft have the right to charge what they want for their products. Their websites explain this, for example:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/compare?T1=tab15

    I fear that it is a case of caveat emptor.

    You might try sweet-talking to the company you bought the laptop from giving you an English version, purchase an English version or Ultimate.

    Good luck.   :)

  • How can I disable the auto restart (following updates) for Windows 7 Home Premium (without messing around w / the register)?

    Hello.  About all of the weeks I have my upload computer files from one day to the next.  It's a 17-hour process, and I don't want the computer off or restarted during this process.  Murphy's law usually results in an update windows & restart related happening whenever I put my computer to download said.  First of all, it is deeply annoying that windows would reboot my computer without asking me (Yes, I realize he asks you, and if you are away for an extended period, he just goes ahead and does it... but really, what the $#! % is the point of asking you if she goes ahead and that anyway when you get him just enough early?)  Wow!  Incredibly retarted the Windows for this.)  But anyway, how can I disable this for Win7 Home Premium?  (As if in the first place is not quite annoying, making it virtually impossible to figure out how to turn it off is like adding insult to injury).  Please NOTE, I've seen some other forum post responses on this site that is: (1) link to an information page on the group policies for system administrators, but nowhere does really explain where and how to access these policies and change them!  (2) has a process that begins with 'gpedit.msc' running, but when I started > box to search for this file, there is no result.  (3) the hacking the registry (seriously?  Please, don't.)  SO, please tell me how to disable the auto restart, step by step, without messing with the registry, for WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM.  Ideally, I'd like to be able to potentially re - activate cela in the future and/or switches back as my usage dictates.  And for the record, it's nut that's not a simple option toggle any, as when my computer or monitor sleeps...  Thank you!!

    Thank you.  I'll do it and change my Windows Update settings.  BUT, FYI, in an act even more incredible, the same night I posted my question here, my computer was said upload, and I was still in place at 03:00 (when Windows is set to d/l and install updates).  I went to the kitchen for a bit and returned to my computer to find a countdown - he downloaded updates and "will re-start in 7 minutes" or so and counting down... I said "AH HA!"  I caught you! "I clicked the button of REPORTER and went to bed smiling that I myself had saved wasting many hours of work.  But when I woke up the next morning... HE HAD DONE IT AGAIN!  This means that it is: (1) downloaded another "critic" (cough) update later in the evening, which seems likely because it took to do this at 03:00 and had already done so... or (2) the REPORTER button defers only during a certain period of time (maybe an hour, or even less, by the look of it) and then do it again anyway.

    This is ridiculous.  As it is not ridiculous to called 9 10 patches 'critical', so critical that an urgent restarting your computer is necessary EVEN IF HE is BUSY WORKING, the substitution of the computer user asks to postpone and reboot anyway is absolutely unacceptable.  How the manufacturers of Windows might think this makes sense, let alone was a good idea?  Reporter should make the computer restarts DO NOT until * I * say he is allowed to do.

    In this case, finish the work of 17 hours, that the computer was in the Middle has been MUCH more critical that whatever is downloaded updated.  NO doubt about it.  I know.  Apparently, my operating system is not smart enough to know.  So to take it upon himself to replace my reporter application is crazy.  And in addition, the operating system MUST be smart enough to understand this - it's really not that difficult - if the computer is a lot of work, something intense, a download that is not finished, a sort of bar of ANY progress on ANY application which is not 100% yet, etc., it should be smart enough to WAIT to reboot anyway.

    Thanks again once, change Windows Update settings so it will download updates but let me choose to install them, since this operating system is so poorly thought.

  • during the installation of licenced copy of windows 7 Home Premium - I can't write my username keyboard wired - num light is off - hoe to write?

  • Menu toolbar problem and start for windows vista Home premium 64-bit

    I've recently been tweaking and accidentally got rid of my explorer.exe file, (I think that I sent to my trash and maybe deleted it?). Once I realized that I just typed as a new task and it reappeared.  The problem I have is that since then I had no toolbar or start menu.  I tried to access it through the control panel that does not work; I tried Ctrl Esc, which does not work, I tried everything I can think of? What's weird, that's all my desktop icons are great, and for some reason if I have Ghost click my mouse in the lower right of the screen I open random programs usually on my toolbar, I can even drag on my desk.  I tried to find common ground, if my toolbar is there somewhere?, do to slide it back on my screen, but it was done without success.  Another thing is when I start my computer in safe mode, my toolbar appears with my Start menu icon?  Anyone know what may be the problem?  I am running windows vista family premium. operating system: 64-bit
