Cannot install updates - sys admin control does not allow - pc is no longer on the domain

When I try to run Windows update, it is not allowed due to system administrator is in control.   The pc was on a domain, but is no longer.  
I changed the registry keys and local security policy entries per multiple searches on the web.

Hi,
You meant your PC had add into domain, but left afterwards, isn't it? It would be better to provide a screenshot for your error message.
How about create a new user account to make a test? This problem probably caused by Windows left domain imperfect.
In addition, you can also run gpresult /z >policy.txt command to check your current Policy settings if there is any policy disable Windows update.

  • Boot Camp Assistant does not allow partiton when my disk is the right format

    Boot Camp Assistant does not allow partiton when my disk is the right format - (Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume).
    When I go to the Boot Camp Assistant to partition the Macintosh HD disk, an error comes up saying,
    "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved
    Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    Please help me out! I would really appreciate it!

    I was not allowed the Repair Disk option. I tryed Verify Disk, and an error came up saying,
    "The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
    Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk."

  • I open a new webpage in a new tab. I then go to a link and the back button does not allow me to go back to the original webpage. Any suggestions?

    I don't think you understood the question. I am having the exact same issue. I open a link in a new tab or window, for example: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/
    When the new tab opens, I click on "reviews" to open the link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforedrop/#reviews in the existing tab because I want to see the reviews for this feature. After I read the reviews, I want to go back to the main link, but the back button on my browser is greyed out, as though I was never even on the previous page. So my options are 1) Open every link I ever click on in a new tab or window, or 2) Hope the website is user friendly and attempt to navigate back to the previous page using links inserted on the current page.
    You never realize how frustrating not having back button is until it happens.

  • ICal does not allow me to edit "minutes" in the appointments. when i make an appointment it defaults it to xxhrs 08mins (example 16:08) how can i make an appointment for 16:00 or 15:30 hrs ...etc.

    Hi,
    You can change this in System Preferences, Language & Text.
    Go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats tab and change where it says Custom to your location. Then re-open iCal.
    Let us know how it goes.
    Best wishes

  • My iPhone 5 pairs with my automobile except it does not allow me to "pickup" calls using the car facility.  I've contacted Acura RDX 2013 about this problem.  It referred me Apple for a fix. My iPhone 4 worked with the car technology.

    Thanks

    HI Friend,
    Probably the problem it is because your iPhone 4 and your car have the same Bluetooth technology ( 2.1 ), but iPhone 5 has new Bluetooth technology ( 4.0 ).

  • I have FF Mobile loaded on my Transformer Prime with ICS. I have read through all the tutorials about installing addons but my FF does not have a slide out menu on the right side. So I cannot click on the gear button to open the settings.

    I believe this started after the update from 3/13. I remember setting the user agent at some point when i first loaded it. Now I am unable to get to that option.

    Update: I have also loaded FF Beta and Aurora and I have the same problem. No way to open the settings menu.

  • Airport Utility Timed Access Control does not allow/restrict access to wireless clients per the time set.

    I have been trying to setup Timed Access Control in Airport Utility and it does not seem to be working correctly. 
    In Airport Utility from Edit Timed Access Control I Enter a name for my device (iPad/iPhone any device), enter my mac address, set time for Everyday and use default Between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, save and then update. When I go to my device iPad iPhone etc. I still have access even when it is after the time set, 5:00PM.  If I set no access it will restrict access also I set a time between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM and access was restricted.  It doesnt seem to matter what the device is.  I know that the MAC Adress is set correctly.  It seems like an issue with the Utility, possibly time miss match or something.  Not sure if I am missing something or if this Utility just has flaws. Please Help.

    I changed the default to (no access) and set an entry for my test device (an iPad) to "Everyday Between 9am to 5pm.  The iPad was still able to gain access to the network. 
    Something else to note, if I try to edit the time of an entry it gives me an error on my MBP "Invalid value", "The value for “Timed Access Control” is invalid."  This happens even if I delete a digit (number or letter in the time field) and replace with the exact same. Not sure if the two are related. I have tried to edit access from my iPad.  I don't get any errors but I still don't get the expected results.  I called Apple to try and get Tech support but they were not much help. Thanks again.

  • HT1459 Just bought a new ipod shuffle for my kid and cannot set it up because it does not show up in itunes. Also the charging light does not light up. what could be wrong, as i am able to see both my iphone and ipad on itunes on the same pc?

    Just bought a new 4th gen iPod Shuffle for my kid. Problem is I cannot do the initial set up, as the device does not show up on iTunes on my PC. Also the charging does not light up. Any ideas on what could be wrong, as I am able to see both my iphone and iPad on iTunes using the same PC?

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

  • Java 6 updates 22 thru 24 does not allow ASP Remote Scripting calls

    The Java 6 update 22 thru 24 all prevent ASP Remote Scripting from working correctly, causing applications using Remote Scripting via the standardized rs.htm code to fail. This is well documented with examples at the Java Forums page http://www.java-forums.org/new-java/36522-java-jre-6-update-21-22-rs-problem.html
    To date I have not been able to find anything that indicates Oracle is aware of this problem and is trying to fix it. If there is a fix, please contact me with it immediately!

    is it fixed?Whats stopping you from installing update 26 and trying it out? Or did you think that this is an Oracle technical support forum where actual Oracle employees post?
    Note that if nobody bothered to create a bug report for this problem (because I see no evidence of that in either forum) then the answer is likely no.

  • OBIEE Admin Tool does not allow to modify any object

    Hi,
    I have this strange problem. I have OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 client installed on my PC. I am trying to update RPD objects in offline/Online/MUD(I tried all three) mode but the Check Out button is greyed out for me. No matter what changes I do into Tools --> Utility, it stays greyed out. I have reinstalled the Admin tool again and but problem persist. I have admin rights on PC so privileges can't be an issue. From connection pool I can view the data or update the row count but can’t add/delete/modify anything else.
    Any idea what’s wrong here? Any pointer for further research.
    Thanks in Advance
