set Firefox as default, Microsoft warning message appears on log in "failed to connect to a Windows service..Help please.
Have set Firefox as default on my new computer (Windows 10) but each time I log on I receive a warning . "Windows couldn't connect to the Group Policy Client Service. This problem prevents standard users from signing in. As an administrator you can review .... ." I unistalled Firefox and eventually the warning disappeared. Have now reinstalled Firefox, and the problem is back. Is it connected to setting Firefox the defaullt browser? Does it matter that I cannot 'sign in'? I am not an advanced user!

Hi !
Would you give this a try:
1 – Head to the Control Panel and click on 'Power Options'
2 – Click the link of the left-hand side ‘Choose what the power buttons do’
3 – Click the ‘Change settings currently unavailable’- link
4 – Tick the ‘Turn on fast start-up’- box under 'Shut-down settings'
If, however, this doesn't work for you, may I suggest you post a question here:
