Nifty trick found today while trying to diagnose a Windows firewall issue, getting error “For your security, some settings are controlled by Group Policy”

  1. Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
  2. Navigate to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \Policies \ Microsoft \ WindowsFirewall

  1. Backup the key and then delete the WindowsFirewall branch.
  2. Close Regedit.exe and restart Windows.
