Solved Can't open .exe, regedit and .misc files in admin account

[px01]

I accidentally changed the restrictions in gpedit.msc to enable listed files. when I restart my computer the admin cannot also open any .exe files. Error says “This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.”

I still open some files like firefox, notepad, wordpad but not the command prompt, .bat files, registry and .msc..
I try to run it in safe mode but i cannot access it.
Is there any way to reset the gpedit to default by deleting some files in folder?

Please help

Hello px01,

You could use Option One in the tutorial below to completely reset group policy back to default using a .vbs file.

Hope this helps,

Did system restore sort it for you?

yes but i have now a minimal problem, everytime after startup, the windows defender automaticaly opens and theeres a message that says service has stopped stopped " a problem caused this program to stop."
here is the screen shot:

Double check to see if your Windows Defender service is still set to "Started" and "Automatic".

I set it to stop then manual and try also disabled but its showing again and again in the start up..

You would get the message if the service isn't started and running.

In addition, double check to see if you have "Restart the Service" selected for all 3 options like below in the "Recovery" tab in the Windows Defender service properties.

Hi, I set the "restart the service" to all 3 options and stopped and disabled the windows defender properties, but when I restart the windows defender keeps autmaticaly opens again..

You have to "Enable" and "Start" the Windows Defender service instead of stopping and disabling it.

set it to start same error happens after re-boot..

If you have another older restore point available, you might see if doing a system restore with it may help.

If not, then you might see if running a sfc /scannow command may help if a corrupted system file may be at fault.
