"Your organization's policies are preventing us from completing this action for you. For more info, please contact your help desk."

Well, I AM my help desk as this is my personal laptop. I'm not sure what I did to have this get set up somewhere, the only things I've ever messed with were the OEM Background picture when logging on and to disable the autorun features to prevent installation of malware from infected usb drives that I interact with on campus frequently giving me enough time to scan them before activating them.

I tried going back into the registry and setting the policy for autorun to be unconfigured again as it was default and it didn't fix the problem.

I get that error message when using various MS Office products, 2010 and 2013, when trying to go to an external link in a document/program or when trying to hyperlink within a document (e.g. Table of Contents --> Page 23...) But I know it isn't specifically office, or at least I think.

Thoughts on what I can do?

    I have had this issue for months.  upgraded to Windows 10 about a year ago.  I have tried every fix I can find online, but nothing helps.  Please Help!  This is really frustrating.

    I you need log files, configuration files or any additional information, let me know.

    Nothing works for me:

    Method #1 - Get error that this fix does not work with my operating system - which happens to be updated Win 10 (!)

    Method #2 - I do not use IE for anything other than high security bank operations (token) and it will only work for that as set up by my bank.

    Method #3 - I do not have another computer.

    What did you guys change, why do you not have a fix (for Win !0!) or allow us to reset back the way it was.  Thisis really anoying, especially since I rent Office 365.
