Changes in gpedit.msc -- can't elevate privileges (Win Update, UAC)
System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Rebooted after Windows finished updating today. Something broke! I could not open on screen keyboard osk.exe. I got the error: A referral was returned from the server. So, I searched and followed steps like these (Resolving A referral was returned from the server Error: Windows 8 |) to disable "User Account Control: Only elevate executables that are signed and validated"
Now, I cannot elevate privileges at all... all admin tools and everything else gives a "A referral was returned from the server" including cmd.exe and creating or changing user accounts or creating a new profile.
I do not have admin account enabled or any other users besides the one, with admin privileges that are no more? Do I need to re-install Windows or is there another way?
