Great, thanks for the update. The leftover AppLocker configuration file C:\Windows\System32\AppLocker\Script.AppLocker was causing all the trouble.

Download AdvancedRun from Nirsoft.

Launch cmd.exe as TrustedInstaller. This opens a Command Prompt window with highest privileges.

(See also: How to Run Programs as TrustedInstaller)

From that Command Prompt window, run services.msc

See if you can stop or disable the service you want to stop/disable.

    The error I keep getting is for the activate.bat

    This program is block by you group policy.

    When I have turn applock off an everything but I think where I check the logs for applock it use the an old rule but there are no rules in the applock you see a ss of applock in an early post of the SS in the support place.

    Ok.

    Can you run a simple Batch file containing the following commands?

    • dir c:\
    • pause

    Or, is the problem only with activate.bat? If so, the contents of activate.bat need to be checked. One of the batch commands may have been blocked by the system. What does activate.bat contain? A screenshot of the error window may help.
