Application will not launch on any PC for one specified domain user

[greghaines]

Hi Guys,

Any ideas regarding this one? The application will not launches for one specified domain user on any PC in the domain. But it launches for any other user without issue???

I've .old'ed the user profile and cleared out the user appsense prefs but still no joy. The app (Adobe Bridge) shows up in task mgr for about 3 seconds before dying off. If i run the app as a different user it launches without issue

Can anyone help out on this weird one?

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a permissions issue for that one user. There is likely a policy somewhere that you can adjust for that user or for that application. I would start with Group Policy Editor.

Here is some helpful information:

Be sure to read through the comments for additional information.

Note: If you ever want to do this in Windows 10, there is a different way to access Microsoft Management Console: You first go into a command prompt, and you then type MMC <ENTER>. If you run MMC straight up in Windows 10 (not from a command prompt), you will go to Hyper-V manager.
