I can't turn windows program compatibility off

I enabled "turn off application compatibility engine" and "turn off program compatibility assistant" in computer configuration (through group policy edit) and also "turn off program compatibility assistant" in user configuration,
and still when I try to install visual studio it says: "Windows Program Compatibility mode is on. Turn it off and then try Setup again". where should I turn off windows program compatibility? once I enabled "remove program compatibility property
page" and now I don't have this page even after I disabled this setting. now how can I have this page back? Is there a command that I can use it in cmd to change these settings?

Hi,
Here is the workaround:
Rename the EXE accordingly:
Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate -> vs_ultimate.exe
Premium -> vs_premium.exe
Pro -> vs_professional.exe
Express for Web -> vns_full.exe
Express for Windows -> win8express_full.exe
Express for Desktop -> wdexpress_full.exe

  • Setup Blocked : Windows Program Compatibility Mode

    I'm trying to install "Modeling SDK for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013" on Windows 10 Tech Preview Build 10049:
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40754
    But always get:
    "Setup Blocked"
    Windows Program Compatibility mode is on. Turn it off and then try Setup again.
    Compatibility tab on the setup VS_VmSdk.exe shows compatibility mode is off.  No variation of settings on that tab have any effect.
    Is there any way to bypass the compatiblity check on Windows 10 Tech Preview?
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Can i turn the Laptop screen off while connecting the TV?

    Dear All,
    I am connecting my Mac to TV 32'' via mini display port converted to HDMI.
    I am using it on MAC OS X 10.6.6, and on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 also.
    when i am connecting my TV, the 2 screens are on, Laptop screen and TV screen.
    Can i turn the Laptop screen off while connecting the TV?
    how to do this on both operating systems?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Boudy,

    The quick answer is, hook up the tv to the computer, close the lid, then wake the computer up by clicking the mouse while the lid is closed. Not sure if it'll work while running windows, but I'd bet it does if you have the mac drivers installed on the win os.

  • I want to type "0800" or "20.00"; Pages automatically "corrects" the entries to: "800" and "20." !  How can I turn this automatic correcting OFF?

    In my business it is critical that I be able to enter numbers in the format I choose.  I want to type "0800" or "20.00"; Pages automatically "corrects" the entries to: "800" and "20." !  How can I turn this automatic correcting OFF?  I am a relatively new user of Pages and cannot find a means of turning the autocorrect OFF.or of setting the number formatting rules.

    Pages v5.5.2 does not change 0800, or 20.00 when entered as body text for me. There is nothing in substitution, or Pages preferences settings that can effect these values.
    However, when typed in a Pages table cell with the wrong data format, mischief does occur. In order to preserve 0800, select the Cell tab on the format panel, and set the cell data format to Text, or a custom data format. To preserve 20.00, you must set that cell data format to either Automatic with 2 decimals, or Number with 2 decimals.

  • How can I turn on the Compatibility View Option?

    In viewing a vendor's online reporting, I noticed that the report's header appears on the right, while the report's content appear on the left, creating a confusing viewing.
    The vendor has recommended that I turn on the Compatibility View Option, but I cannot find this option anywhere.
    Would someone direct me to the section where I can turn on the Compatibility View Option?
    Thank you!
