This is a freaking nightmare I buy a new Dell laptop and a copy of Fifa 14. And windows 8.1 won't let me play - it keeps popping this abomination of a warning throwing me out of the game. The group policy answer works only on Win Pro which I don't have.

However MoralPanik & the internet is here to help..

Open up the registry in admin Mode. For all of the following registry folders, use Context menu > Permissions > Advanced to make yourself or administrators the owner (instead of TrustedInstaller). Ok out and give the same credentials Full Controls over the folder. This will let you delete the registry folder.

Blow away the following three folders (ensure you have a restore point/exported registry dump if you're wary).

  • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\WDI\DiagnosticModules{5EE64AFB-398D-4edb-AF71-3B830219ABF7}]
  • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\WDI\DiagnosticModules{45DE1EA9-10BC-4f96-9B21-4B6B83DBF476}]
  • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WDI\DiagnosticModules{C0F51D84-11B9-4e74-B083-99F11BA2DB0A}]

Follow this up with a reboot and you can know play your games in peace!
