    Installation forbidden by system policy


    The device in question is a SanDisk 16gb usb drive. It works ok on this Win 7 computer, and it works ok on another Win 10 computer, but on one Win 10 machine I get this message, "The installation of this device is forbidden by system policy."

    What's the fix?

    You can run the group policy editor, and there you can allow the device (Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Device Installation). Not sure why this particular usb device had an issue, but it works now.
