So I uninstalled Winsock and Winsock2 registry keys and now cannot connect to the internet. I am using the following walkthrough to try and reinstall Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) but every time I try and add the protocol I get a message saying I am blocked by Group Policy.
I am a local administrator on the computer and I even added myself to the Network Configuration Operators group, but it's still displaying the message.
I also tried enabling the administrator account and trying through there, but I still get the same message.
Any help getting past this is really appreciated!
Thanks!
1You being a local administrator does not give you permissions to modify a group policy if your connecting to a domain. It sounds like you are connecting to a domain. Have you asked your IT Administrator for assistance? You did export, the keys, before you deleted them right? – Ramhound – 2015-11-30T19:44:56.960
5Okay, thanks for the reply. Not sure why this got downvoted? SU doesn't seem to like beginners. – pnavk – 2015-11-30T22:15:59.873
1I voted on your question because I don't feel you have did enough background research. – Ramhound – 2015-12-01T01:17:25.530
3Did you ever figure out which group policy was preventing this? For the record, the message that OP refers to shows up on non-domain machines. – somehume – 2016-01-17T23:03:56.690
