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.

    Thank you so Much Prakash it worked I have access the local security policy. I have two more question.

    1. How does this happen?
    2. When ever i try to run something I get this error "This program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contact your system administrator." I can not remember what I did. I have turned of my AppLocker to try and fix it but that did not work.

    So I hope you can help me fix it it does this with exe and bat files that I think it does this with things are not signed or something on those lines.

    Best Regards
    Marco

    Hello,

    Thank you for your reply and providing Information.

    Glad to know its working now.

    1. It may happen due to update or recently changed in your Computer.
    2. You get this error "This program is blocked by group policy" -> Is this part of your Company's Domain or Did you change Local GPO ? If yes please try to revert back or turn Off those recent GPO or App locker settings.

    Best Regards,

    Prakash
