gpedit locked myself out Windows 10

0

to allow endpoint users execute only certain EXE files, I enabled Run only specified Windows Aplications and fill whitelist with THOSE aplications. To avoid locking myself out I added gpedit.msc and cmd.exe to whitelist BIG mistake, Now have no access to gpedit.msc not even from cmd.

Thanks in Advance.

Note. I have searched this issue and one of the possible solutions is RD /s /Q at cmd BUT its a Win7 solution, will this work on Win10.

That rd /s /q deletes files named "at" or "cmd"; it doesn't look even close to a solution. – user1686 – 2015-10-01T05:59:22.263

Login into the default Administrator user then modify the registry and reverse your actions. – Ramhound – 2015-10-01T11:02:23.297

You can just copy, c:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe to for example c:\temp\ rename it to the same name app that you allow to run. For example you allow notepad.exe then rename it to notepad.exe. Once you rename, run the new name of cmd.exe as Administrator. Once open run MMC.exe, then you can reopen your gpedit.msc and disable the "Locked myself out of Group Policy Editor"
