Hey there,
Thanks guys for all the help on this one, that turned out to be me going off on one and becoming more than one. Cheers Dave, BC!
I think you might be right on this one Dave. I stripped off the admin pwrd then booted in and reset, restarted and accessed the actual Administrators account. Even the actual admin account, not my own user profile with admin rights, could not even open the MRT.
I've been looking at the group policy and the entried between my profile and admin profile seem different. I checked online and there was a forum on link
https://www.tenforums.com/antivirus-firewalls-system-security/89924-malicious-removal-tool-mrt-blocked-system-administrator.htmlIt was going on about the same MRT probs and it was group policy. I think it may possibly have to be rebuild to fix the errors. Might be that it would have to be attached to whatever domain controller passed through gpupdates or something.
Is there anyway that it could be that an update to win10 pro over 7 could mess with the group profiles? Like if it was disconnected and changed from domain to workgroup then Win 10 updated over the 7 installation, and possibly a corruption has happened.
We could go on lol. Anyway thanks guys for all the input.
Oh Dave I downloaded that link to the magical jelly bean, thanks!
I can live with it just now though. This all started after trying to write a simple batch file that would open with elevated privileges haha. How to open a can of worms eh. I've got another two laptops sitting here, so if any issues I can use them, if I have to do a rebuild on this one.
Thanks again!!
