Its caused by a bug in W10.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-fix-some-settings-are-managed-by-your-organization-message-windows-10-1521281

Thanks for the reply but I have seen that in several articles. I tried that and seven or eight other “fixes” and none of them work. I’m beginning to think its some kind of malware that Microsoft will not acknowledge because it seems to keep changing form and is always one step ahead of the so called fixes. I have it with notifications, other people report it with different OS settings.

I can understand that reasoning but it’s not the case with me. I have full privileges as administrator on the computer.

This can sometimes be triggered by choices in Feedback & diagnostics (Start > Settings > Privacy > Feedback & diagnostics) if you set Feedback frequency to Never and Diagnostic and usage data to Basic.

If yours are set this way, try changing both settings back to their defaults, i.e. Automatically (Recommended) and Full (Recommended) respectively then restart to see if the Some settings are managed by your organization message disappears.

Hope this helps…

Thanks for the reply Rick. Fortunately my settings are already set to those you suggested. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that someone has the answer.

John, Thanks for the reply. Happily, I have found the answer to my problem. Because it was so weird I decided to try something outside the box. I uninstalled Chrome completely from my system and reinstalled it with a newly downloaded copy. That did the trick for me, I was immediately able to set it as the default browser and things are working nicely. This thread can be closed.

A day has passed.
What is your status ?
Still the same problem ?
I take it you are not willing to do a repair install. Yes ?

I had other obligations that I had to honor yesterday so I didn’t get around to the repair installation. This morning I did run the image file and now my system seems to be back to normal including a couple of older problems I had forgotten I even had have been repaired. Thanks so very much for your time and able assistance. I rarely have any problems like this one and when I do I’m usually wary of turning to a forum environment. The Windows Secrets users are however a generally well informed group of people who respond in a professional manner in most instances.

Assuming you got the error message “Source files could not be found”.

Please use the Tech Bench link and download YOUR edition of Windows 10.
Make sure you pick the same edition, language and bit version as your computer is now running.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench

Once you have the iso downloaded, right click at the ISO > click Mount > leave it there.

Then open the elevated command prompt and copy and paste this…………….

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:H:sourcesinstall.wim:1 /limitaccess

Note : H is the drive where the iso is mounted. Change it if your driver letter is different.
When it is completed, you should get the report that the operation is successful.
Now run the sfc /scannow again. It should be ok this time.

I just finished running the restore process using the downloaded image with what seemed to be a successful result. I then re-ran SFC and this time it seemed to run without any problems and said it had corrected all the errors it found. I have screenshots of both screens showing the results. I re-booted and tried to run a couple of apps with no success and no error messages of any kind. For all intents and purposes I am right where I began the day. Based on the message from SFC some corrupt file(s) were repaired but I don’t see any changes in my system’s operation.

No. I am asking you to follow post #7.
That one is posted for you.

Sorry. There was a misspelling of my name so I didn’t even notice that posting and didn’t get a notification on it being posted.
I downloaded both the 32 and 64 bit, English versions. I immediately need the 64 bit ISO but will burn both to DVDs for possible future needs. I’ll let you know if the repairs work as advertised.

I assume you mean this link:https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825020.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#

If that is what you are referring to I did try it in both Firefox and IE11 and got identical results.

Did you get an error message “ Source files could not be found ” ?

Yes. I got the following message:
C:WINDOWSsystem32>dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.10586.0

The source files could not be found.

Being totally unfamiliar with this feature of Windows 10 I am now trying to decide what to do next. I followed the link given in the message above but the linked materials have been archived with a message that the info. may be out of date or something to that effect. I am now in the “read and learn” phase of trying to understand what has happened to cause all this.

Yes. I have tried all those things. The system file scan reports that corrupt files were found and some of them could not be repaired. I looked at the log file and it said a file openCL.dll could not be found. Did a search and that indicates that the file is for a video adapter. Nvidia says my video driver is up to date. In short I am at a dead end on that one. I ran the Power Shell script and it came back with an error code and the message that “the package could not be installed because a resource it modifies is in use. I attempted the suggested image restore command and likewise that failed with a reference to another log file that did me no good at all.

NW, are you clicking to the article page before saving in Evernote? If you save from the “home” page, perhaps because you just want the top story, Web Clipper takes that title, as you said.

If you click on the article title first, then Web Clipper uses that article’s page title:
43574-lounge-save-evernote

Bonus: you won’t have to tediously select what you want.

Cheers,

Mitch

I have used all the methods on this thread and I can say that using Evernote is the best choice for this particular task. I open the web page for anything, click on the Evernote icon on the menu bar, click save and the page is put into a notebook of my choosing. I love OneNote for saving email from Outlook and for other desktop tasks but when it comes to using it in a browser it stinks. It cannot even be used in Microsoft’s Edge at this point in time. The big benefit of using the Evernote/Onenote methods is that the clips are saved in an easily editable format while saving to PDF creates a document that is difficult if not impossible to annotate or edit unless you have a very expensive PDF application like Adobe Acrobat or Nitro Professional.

F.U.N. downtown, thanks, that sounds like a very reasonable solution to me. I don’t have any partition/drive labeled C: but I can change that easily and give it a try.

Yes I did it twice, once normally from Control Panel and once using HP’s “Scrubber.” The re-install still fails at the same point. I could do a find and remove of all things HP on the registry but that is something I would like to avoid if at all possible.

Hello and thank you to everyone who helped me solve this problem. Using bbearen’s suggestion I copied the “Boot” folder and the “bootmgr” files from my Win 7 DVD to the root folder of the new drive labeled ”G” by the system. I then unplugged the C drive and connected its cables to the G drive. Next I went into BIOS and made the new SSD (labeled G) the primary boot drive. I put loaded the DVD and rebooted. When the system then rebooted from the DVD I chose the repair boot option and proceeded as instructed and everything was fixed in that one step. I do have a new problem that I want to address here but I will do it in a new thread to avoid a lot of confusion.
Thanks again, I love “Windows Secrets.”

I simply chose the repair option from the Windows 7 Setup screen, then I chose Boot (may actually say Startup) from the sub-menu and pressed enter. The system then tries to repair itself and you have to restart the PC to see if things worked out in your favor. I did this two consecutive times and still could not get things to work.
