Group policy is blocking the installer from running in app data ( due to security) Help!

We cant run go to assist since yesterday, no changes our side, could it be that the installer location has changed to users/appdata ?

    Hi John,
    Can you provide some more detail about how you are installing and what is happening exactly?

    Hi John,

    We haven't changed the install location, can you provide some more detail about how you are installing and what is happening exactly?

      I got this from my SysAdmin, am working on figuring it out myself now. Happened again. Did it in June, also. Fixed by our IT Service Dept then. Thought I'd share. I'm thinking it mat occur when my browser - or something - updated itself. Windows? Reg-Edit, here I come...

       

      From my IT guys:

       

      Here is the error:

       

      Access to C:\Users\ <myuserID> \AppData\Local\GoTo Opener\GoTo Opener.exe has been restricted by your Administrator by location with policy rule {A512C122-DDC5-4C5D-882E-04165674DD67} placed on path C:\Users\ <myUserID>\AppData\Local\*\*.exe.

       

      Never seen this before but this is a Windows issue.  Need to figure out where this policy is and remove it.
