Yesterday I opened utorrent and it worked OK. Today when I try to open utorrent I get :
(This program is blocked by group policy, for more information contact Systems Administrator).

I found this with Event Viewer. Access to C:\Users\Ray\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe has been restricted by your Administrator by location with policy rule {15544135-be10-4b3a-8652-ae990acb9f44} placed on path C:\Users\Ray\AppData\Roaming\*\*.exe. I looked at Group Policy Editor but I cant see anything. This is a home computer and I am logged in as Administrator.

Welcome to the forum, hopefully im not helping you out so you can go and download illegal software or movies ect..

As an administrator
firstly click start and try run;
In the dialogue box type CMD and press enter;
then in the box type gpedit.msc and hit enter;
double click windows settings;
then click software restrictions and policies;
Then in that section change your user profile to basic user, as default it should be set as disallowed.

It says (No Software Restriction Policies Defined)

Try this:

Also scan your machine for malware with your antivirus and something like malwarebytes which you can find in my signature.

Hello Spuds, and welcome to Seven Forums.

In addition, double check to see if it may have been restricted using AppLocker. You can check by seeing if there are any rules that may have been created for it. If so, then you could either delete the rule, or change it to "allow".

Hope this helps,

I tried the Bat file but I still get the blocked program message. There are no restrictions in Applocker. Looked in event viewer and I see:

Access to C:\Users\Ray\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe has been restricted by your Administrator by location with policy rule {15544135-be10-4b3a-8652-ae990acb9f44} placed on path C:\Users\Ray\AppData\Roaming\*\*.exe.

Still having issues? Hmm okay....

Can you please provide the following information by going to this tutorial and posting it here?

Okay, lets continue.

1.) You followed the tutorial and you stated the batch file did not work. Could you try method one and see if that option works?

2.) Could you also try creating a new ADMIN user account and see if the issue occurs there as well?

Layback Bear · Jan 23, 2014

Just a suggestion.
Run another log because the posted log has been altered.
From the log post #8.

I ran Malwarebytes and restarted computer. Utorrent started but when I closed Utorrent and tried to restart it I got the error msg.

It would also be helpful to see complete System Specs.
These will help.

I now have the same problem using utorrents. I have been using utorrents for many months but now get the message . I am the administrator using Win7 home premium. There have not been any changes made to my computer so I do not know how to correct this problem. I am not very computer literate.

Running torrents is most likely the issue here. Experienced users can even get malware from torrents. They are not very safe, and I suggest not using them. Especially for people who are not very computer savvy.

tonyinthai · Apr 21, 2014

Thanks Andrew that is probably my best option

andrew129260 · Apr 21, 2014

If you notice any other signs of infection, I suggest you head over to the System Security - Windows 7 Help Forums forum.

Hi,

I too encountered this issue (which is quite annoying) and amazingly I found the answer on youtube!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jhB91LL8hA
Basically, what you have to do is to open regedit (Run > regedit > OK) and then go to

HKLM > Software > Policies > Microsoft > Windows > safer > codeidentifiers > 0

where you will find a subkey named Paths. Double click it if you want to review the software that is being blocked by Windows (in case there are programs that you want to block this way), if not just delete the Paths key.
Restart the computer and voila!
