So I uninstalled Winsock and Winsock2 registry keys and now cannot connect to the internet. I am using the following walkthrough to try and reinstall Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) but every time I try and add the protocol I get a message saying I am blocked by Group Policy.
-
I am a local administrator on the computer and I even added myself to the Network Configuration Operators group, but it's still displaying the message.
-
I also tried enabling the administrator account and trying through there, but I still get the same message.
Any help getting past this is really appreciated!
Thanks!

Eventually I was able to resolve the issue using this utility, which added back the missing Winsock keys: http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/winsockreset.html
