So.. we have people recommending pointless integrity checks, and mistaken removal of security created policies...come on guys this is not rocket science... a CORE windows module has a policy out of line
...fixed in c48seconds from below...
1: Anyone getting this error is on a non home, aka PRO version of windows
2: CLICK START
3: TYPE local security policy
4: EXPAND APPLICATION CONTOL POLICIES
5: EXPAND APPLOCKER
6: You will have 4 tabs within, and I no doubt
no rules setup in there
7: You need to add the defaults, which YUP you guessed it,
ADDS windows shell experience in for you
8: Go ahead and right click on all four, and where you see add default option, click it to add them in, (right click on all four), and you will see windows shell added in, close and issue immediately fixed
for ever :)
9: And if you don't see 'add defaults' then do the slightly longer route of going through the motions of ADDING a new EXECUTABLE rule... pick literally any file you want notepad.exe ect, as your not going
to actually add it, just get to the point where you then get TOLD/ADVISED your missing the default rules and do you want to add them, you click yes of course, and at that point, close the MMC/policy window, done.
10: And to the people suggesting the SELF DESTRUCT option of from an elevated cmd window deleting xyz AppLocker files, JUST DONT DO IT
This worked. For a while. Problem back, rules not empty.
