Disable Programs and Features of Windows 7 using GPO

Hi all,
How do i disable Programs and Features  in control panel of Windows 7 using GPO.

> Further to this - is there a way to disable specific features via GPO
> other than scripting?  Like TelnetClient, or InboxGames.
For some - yes, see Administrative Templates - Windows Components. For
most that you seem to address - unfortunately no.
sincerely, Martin
NO THEY ARE NOT EVIL, if you know what you are doing:
Good or bad GPOs?

  • Photoshop CC not listed in "Programs and Features" of Windows 8.1

    Adobe Photoshop CC, Adobe Bridge CC and Adobe Extension Manager CC are not listed in Control Panel section "Programs and Features" of Windows 8.1. Only Adobe Creative Cloud Manager is listed. I have to install Photoshop CC because the current update failed with error code U44M1P7. The advice of Support is to remove Photoshop and reinstall it because I have no other options to solve this update error.  Revo Uninstaller Pro and  Ashampoo Uninstaller 5 also do not show Adobe CC programs in their list of programs. What can I do to solve this problem?

  • Cannnot uninstall Intellipoint because it is not in Programs and Features Windows 7 64

    I am getting error dialog popups from Intellipoint.  It is complaining about some directories being missing.  But in the registry those directories are not in the application paths under Intellipoint.  I tired to uninstall intellipoint using
    Programs and Features but it is not their nor is it under Windows Features.  I read about installing 8 to replace 7. I found a 8.2 download but installing fails because  "there is a more recent version of intellipoint installed".  
    I also notice the list of program paths is huge; maybe that is why my right mouse click is so slow.
    So how do I get rid of intellipoint if I can't find it in Programs and Features?
    Windows 7 64 Ultimate.
    Thanks,

  • Why Internet Explorer 8 is appared when Internet Explorer 11 is removed via "Programs and Features" on Control panel?

    Hello everyone,
    I always want to thank you for usefule information from this forum.
    My issue like this subject is that I got a symptom, when I removed Internet Explorer 11 via "Programs and Features" on Control panel and I get reaponse and Internet Explorer 9 is appered directry throught "Programs and Features"
    under Windows Server 2008R2.
    However under another environment, I performed just same task under Windows Server2008R2 and then Internet Explorer 10 as previous IE via "Programs and Features".
    Could any one let me know why this symptom had been happen, what issue caused this?
    Also method to investigation for this issue is welcome and helpful.
    Thanks.....

    Hi,
     I checked IE11_main.log at the server and rearise basically, previous version 9 of one server and for another server previous version 10.
    I wonder why upgrade path is different between two environment of server.
    Anyway could anyone let me know how to investigate?
    Thanks lots.
    I would say, it depends on how you manage patching/updating, in your environment.
    Do you use automatic updating, in your environment?
    e.g., WSUS ? or ConfigMgr?
    Or, do you use windowsupdate.com and manually perform updating?
    An example, if you login to a machine, and are prompted for an update/upgrade to IE, do you just do it on that machine?
    Or, do you have a plan or method, where you ensure all machines are maintained/updated in the same way, by a certain person or team?
    Probably, the difference in these two machines, is due to human actions :)

  • Unable to uninstall Apple mobile device support from Programs and features using Windows 7 on PC.

    I've uninstalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes but everytime I try to connect my device to the PC I get a message saying to uninstall iTunes and AMDS but the AMDS is not uninstalling properly even after I've cleared iTunes from Program files and tried stop/starting AMDS through administrator tools.
    Help please.

    Others might find this process useful for issues with iTunes 11.1.4.62....
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • I need to uninstall my old version on itunes and install a new version, i cant uninstall from Programs and Features, a message keeps coming up saying 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.' Can anyone help please

    I have tried to just install the new version of itunes from the apple website, it looks like it downloads but after 5 minutes at the end of the install it says 'old version of itunes cannot be uninstalled, please contact support.'?  
    Is there anyway I can remove the version of itunes from my computer? i dont mind if i lose the music/content I already have on my itunes. I need to do this as i have just received the iphone 4 and need to install the newest version of itunes.
    Many thanks

    I need to uninstall my old version on itunes and install a new version, i cant uninstall from Programs and Features, a message keeps coming up saying 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.'
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Trying to uninstall CS5.5 Master Collection, but programs don't appear in standard Windows Programs and Features location

    I'm uninstalling CS5.5 after deactivation in order to gain space for CC, but am having problems doing so.  I'm on 64-bit Windows 7 and installed from the Master Collection disks on both my desktop and laptop - neither one has any of the Master Collection programs showing up in the standard uninstall location, which is the only recommended Adobe uninstall method.
    If I run the original install disk, it recognises the existing CS5.5 programs, but only gives the option of installing further program options rather than uninstalling existing ones - is there any way to use the disks to uninstall programs?

    Fixed it - used the disk to reinstall one of the existing CS5.5 apps, and then the Adobe Master Collection showed up as an item in the Programs and Features location, which I could select and uninstall all apps.

  • Control Panel shows Flash Player icon but not listed in Programs and Features

    Several sites such as Hulu.com and my university homework page keep telling me that I require Flash Player 10 or higher and to download and install before continuing.  So when I try, this is the message I get:  Flash Player is pre-installed with Internet Explorer in Windows 8.  And then in the box below, it says:  Flash Player is disabled.  I've tried all of the steps to correct this issue, but nothing is working for me.  Also the control panel shows the Flash Player icon, but when I go into the programs and features, Flash Player is not listed at all.  What am I doing wrong??
    OS WINDOWS 8 and IE 8

    Hi,
    Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x so you won't see a separate item in Programs and Features for Flash Player ActiveX (the version used by IE).  If you install Flash Player Plug-in for non-IE browsers it'll create an entry in Programs and Features.
    Since you didn't specify which troubleshooting steps you've taken, have you tried the ones listed here Flash Player Issues | Windows 8? Also, when you go to this page, Adobe - Flash Player do you see the Flash animation at the top of the page? If so, what version is detected as being installed in the 'Version Information' widget?  The latest Flash Player version for IE is 15.0.0.167.  If that's not the version listed, please run Windows Update to get the latest version of Internet Explorer or use the link at the bottom of the Flash Player Issues | Windows 8 page.

  • Should firefox be on my firewall's allowed programs and features list

    With the release of versions 27-30, Firefox has been opening web pages very slowly - so much so that I have reverted back to using IE 11. I have been trying every "fix" that has been suggested in the various forums - including creating a new profile, resetting Firefox, reinstalling Firefox, making changes in the about:config, etc. - to no avail.
    In my search for a solution to the problem I came across a post that recommended making sure [my] firewall isn't causing a problem - it suggested that I remove Firefox from the list of allowed programs and to let the firewall ask for permission to allow Firefox the next time I launched it.
    When I finally found the list I discovered that Firefox was not on it. Further research lead me to articles where users were getting "Server not found" error messages, and the recommended fix was to add Firefox to the list. All this did was confuses me.
    Since I am able to connect to the internet, all-be-it very slowly, Firefox must be getting past the firewall. It should be noted that Internet Explorer is not on the list either and I have no problem with it.
    This raises the question as to whether or not Firefox needs to be on the allowed list. Can Firefox not being on the firewall's allowed programs and features list slow Firefox down and if so why?
    If I'm going to make a change to my system I want to make an informed change.
    System Info:
    Windows 7 64bit SP1
    8Gb Ram
    Nvidia Quadro 600 Graphics card

    There is a great variation between different security products. If yours does not prompt you for permission to let different programs access the internet, then you probably do not need to worry about that particular issue.
    To test how Firefox runs "uncustomized" on your system, could you do a two-minute experiment?
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, choose a name like July21, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    Does Firefox work any faster in the new profile?
    <blockquote>You also could experiment with disabling all the nonessential add-ons in the new profile. Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    To check the most relevant categories, you can click "Plugins" and "Extensions" in the left column. Plugins can be disabled by setting them to "Never Activate".
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the add-ons page and click one of the links as the last step. </blockquote>
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button on July21. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

  • How do I uninstall Adobe CS6 Design Standard from my machine? Program is not listed in "Programs and Features".

    I have Adobe CS6 Design Standard Installed on my machine and I now have a new machine that I need to put this on. I am trying to uninstall it from my old machine because I need to have the "license" available. However, the adobe programs are not listed in my Windows 7 uninstall dialog box.  I assume I uninstalled something on accident (Adobe Application Manager?) that is causing this issue.
    I have the physical disc for the CS6 Design Standard. Please I need some help understanding how to uninstall the programs...I can still use them and they are simply icons on my desktop but not listed in my "Programs and Features" dialog box.
    I appreciate any assistance you may provide.

    Awesome!  Deactivating worked...I knew there was something - I just didn't know where to look.  Thanks so much.  As far as uninstalling the programs, what you said worked perfectly - a little backwords...but its my own fault! 
    Thanks and i'm soooooo happy that this only took 1/100th of the time that it took to transfer my AutoCAD License!

  • Can't Remove Workflow Manager 1.0 from "Programs and Features"

    I'm trying to Uninstall Workflow Manager 1.0 from "Programs and Features" in the Control Panel. It was part of a failed installation on a SharePoint Server. The Service Bus, Workflow Client, and Windows Fabric all installed fine but when I try
    to uninstall "Workflow Manager 1.0" Windows Server responds with "The computer is part of a farm. To uninstall, first leave the farm either using "Leave from Farm" option in Configuration Wizard or "Remove-WFHost" cmd-let
    in PowerShell."
    The Deployment Wizard "Leave the Farm" option is not working and I subsequently deleted it. And when I try to run "Remove-WFHost" PowerShell says "The term Remove-WFHost is not recognized. . ."
    The Workflow proxy in the Service Applications of the SharePoint installation has been deleted.
    Any idea how I can remove Workflow Manager 1.0?
    I need to get rid of Workflow Manager 1.0 so that I can start the installation again and hopefully get it installed correctly. . .
    Thanks,
    Kathryn
    Kathryn Birstein, Senior SharePoint Architect

    Hi Kathryn, 
    I had that issue some time ago and the the only way I found to get rid of it was: 
    Delete the Windows Registry entry KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Workflow Manager
    Try uninstalling it again.
    I hope it helps.
