I am using the Group Policy Editor to disable Windows Mail and Windows Calendar.However, both programs are still available. Is the GP Editor completely worthless?

View 1 RepliesI've attempted to turn off my windows defender via group policy editing, however; following the guide here on the forums (how to turn off defender) there is simply no folder/tree with windows defender in the group policy editor.
I have w10 pro and am able to successfully start gpedit.msc.
Why its missing? I really dislike the regedit way of disabling/enabling; and thus wish to use gpedit...
This notice appears each time the Group Policy editor is opened, and takes two clicks on OK to close. Simple steps to banish it?
Checked out this article, but was unable to rename the two files mentioned. I did delete them, however, and this removed the error message. What damage that did is ... to be discovered. ^_^ Files are in RECYCLE bin. [URL] ....
I have windows 10 now and my computer takes forever to go on my homepage. It says 'windows couldn't connect to group policy client services. prevents standard users from signing in'. It also takes a long time to sign out and google chrome takes forever to come up. Windows edge sometimes works a little faster. I wish I never accepted windows 10. My daughter moved away to university and I'll never be able to figure out how to fix this. I tried to use the windows 10 app 'contact support' but it didn't work.

View 1 RepliesWhen I open group policy editor, began with build 10547 and is still happening with 10565.
If I click OK, it disappears, then pops up a second time, click OK again and it's gone, can do whatever editing I need to and the edits stick, so it does seem to have compromised the editor, just more of an annoyance .
I am trying to get hyper-v working but when I am trying to enable hyper v network switch on the network adapter im getting: ''blocked by group policy''. I upgraded windows 7 to window 10 yesterday and its my private computer.
View 1 RepliesI have a gaming machine at home that was running W7. I upgraded to W10. It went from W7 Ultimate to W10 Pro, which is fine. Not long after that, I ran into some issues that I was unable to correct, sfc /scannow was failing, and I couldn't get DISM to read the source files correctly to execute a repair.Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
This was successful, and I thought I was on my merry way. Then after I was using it for a few minutes, it came up with a message that I didn't have an AV running. So, it pointed me to the AV control panel, but everything was greyed out. Then I went into update, and got the notorious "Some system settings are managed by your organization."I'm quite sure this is a group policy issue, but I'm confused as to why it just decided to clamp down on group policy when this machine isn't in a domain (it's in a workgroup). I then found some instructions that said to delete the GP directories and do "gpupdate /force". That didn't work either.
On 9/12/2015 I was able to log into my non-administrator (user) account. Today, 9/14/2015, I get the message: "Windows couldn't connect to the Group Policy Client service..." How can I fix this so I can log into my user account?

I Setup a new PC for a friend on Saturday 28/11/15
Brand new desktop with Windows 10
Setup using a local Admin Account
2 days later - message appears on starting up (after the login prompt)
"Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client service. This problem prevents standard users from logging on to the system."The the PC is slow to respond , would not open WLM or Chrome And takes 10mins to shutdown
Choose to hold the Shift Key and restart - Then Continue
Which fixes the issue - for a few reboots !!!!
Windows 10 has also updated to 1511 Threshold 2
Still occurs
I have tried - and with MS Chat assistance - and all have failed
1) New profile
2) SFC /Scannow
3) Clean Boot
I then read about and was also advised by MS of a registry change for grpsvc.I notice the issue is that Group Policy Client - does not have a status of "running".I checked a couple of windows 10 PCs and they all have the Status "running" although none had the registry entries recommended and all have worked fine for months.However, MS - updated and changed the registry and now we have the status of "running" next day it gave the message and problems returned This time I notice that the GPC status is blank again.Despite the registry changes - still having the issue - every day for 10days now with a reboot using the shift key fixes the issue and GPC is running again
I'm at a loss what to do next MS have said its not a windows problem and refused to further assist - and advised to go back to the OEM HP have said its a windows issue windows couldn't connect to group policy - Windows 10 Forums Which I may try and see if there is a space - but I have checked the registry now and it is now setup as the various GPC articles of course , if i do a clean factory reset - that will be removed
Since upgrading to Windows 10 a while back I receive the following message on start up:
Failed to connect to a Windows Service:
Windows couldn't connect to the Group Policy Client service. This problem prevents standard users from signing in.
Is this a major problem which I need to get rectified and if so how ?
I have windows 10 pro and I have edited the group policy for windows update and has set it to notify me to download. My problem is that after a few days windows automatically download updates and install them though I had set it to notify to download. It seems that the settings are not permanent and windows resets the group policy settings. How can i make the settings permanent?

Failed to connect to a Windows Service.Windows Couldn't connect to the Group Policy Client Service.This Problem Prevents Standard users from signing in.As an administrative user you can review.The Group Policy Client does not start,when I start the Laptop after shutting it down remove the power supply for some minutes, I have followed the instructions from the net from this video link to check if the following keys exists in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesgpsvc
and

They both exists with the proper keys.Even windows 10 Inbuilt Mail, Google Chrome does not work.Other Browsers work properly.But if I restart the Laptop then everything starts to work properly.
Not sure whether this is related to the recent upgrade (yesterday jan 28 2016), but I restarted my PC after after the upgrade, all was OK, I switched it off and went home. Today after I swithed my PC on the following appeared: "The Group Policy Client Service failed the sign-in. The universal unique identifier (UUID) type is not supported" Wow, this frightened me as hell. The logon screen reappeared and I managed to log-in on the second attempt.
View 3 RepliesI'm having the "Failed to connect to a Windows service. Windows couldn't connect to the Group Policy Client service. This problem prevents standard users from signing in" message in my laptop. It was updated from Windows 8 to 10 when we purchased it. At the beginning the laptop works well but now i'm having this message. I saw the a video and the GPC status is not running and in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CURRENT CONTROL/SERVICES/GPSVC in the Image Path is netsvcs instead gpsvdGroup.
The problem is that when i went to SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS NT/CURRENT VERSION/SVCHOST And then to the netsvcs I did'n t have to add it because it is already there, it was not missing. I verified Dword values and all of them have the same values as recommended in the video.
I'm currently trying to set the mail app of W10 to read my Gmail mailbox but after configure, the app doesn't find any elements to show... How to configure a Gmail account into the mail app of W10 successfully ? Is there something special to do ?
And the second W10 app that doesn't work for me is the calendar one. I can't click on the "New event" button and the only thing i can do is navigate through the weeks/months.
There are two users on my PC and for some strange reason the Mail App has stopped running for one user. It works perfectly for me but not for the other user. It was previously running fine for both. I can't uninstall the app (the uninstall option is greyed out).
View 4 RepliesWhen I try to add an account to the Mail, Calendar or People apps I get a "Something went wrong" error, code 0x80070422.
I have run sfc /scannow, DISM /cleanup-image etc, tried stopping and starting the credential manager and setting it to start automatically, but no luck.
I came across a fix for the TP that involved using powershell to remove the package and then reinstall it from the store, but when I run this it appears to complete correctly but the apps remain installed. I also tried removing them as per this and then reinstalling them, but the problem remains.
I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on a Sony VAIO laptop. I'm working through some issues but the one that is really annoying me is the inability to add any accounts to the Mail and Calendar apps. I have tried adding my Microsoft account as well as Exchange and other types of accounts. No matter what I do, I get the "Something went wrong" error message.
View 2 RepliesI installed windows 10 upgrading from Win 8.1 Pro. and some built in apps will not run. The apps won't run are:
Mail
Calendar
Calculator
People
Photos
The icons for these are greyed out. When I click on them, I see a window open and instantly close. I can sometimes get a message that says "application cannot load because it is still updating"
I have MS Office 2013 installed and Outlook works.
How can I fix this? I cannot find how to complete the "still updating".
Manually checked store tonight and saw mail and calendar update waiting. In typical MS style it downloaded but did nothing on first attempt, I closed store, re opened and tried it again whereupon it completed. Normally this messes the app up for the other user accounts of the PC but on this occasion the app was still working fine for all users despite this. Still unimpressed with MS native app updates.

View 2 RepliesI have a weird issue. My mail and calendar app will not launch.
This started happening on Friday 7 August 2015 after the first cumulative update. I am on Windows 10 Home 64 bit. I have a Sony Vaio laptop and my installation is an upgrade from Windows 7 Home.
Out of all my apps it's only these 2. I click on the icon and nothing happens. It won't load and then fail, it just doesn't do anything. Another weird behavior I am noticing is that when I right click the icon for Mail or Calendar (it happens on both) the option to "pin to taskbar" has gone. Pin to start is there. This is the only app this happens on.
The other thing which is happening if in the Event Viewer under "Applications and Services Log/Microsoft/Windows/Apps/Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational" where app launching is logged.....instead of it saying:
The app microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe!microsoft.windowslive.mail was activated for the Windows.Launch contract successfully.
it says:
The app Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy!CortanaUI was activated for the Windows.Launch contract successfully.
I have tried WSRESET, and also "Get-AppxPackage *communi* | Remove-AppXPackage" reboot, and then reinstall Mail and Calendar app.
