Windows 10 policies unwillingly managed

Person122 · 12 Jul 2020

(Please forgive me if I do anything wrong I am new.)

I have encountered an issue where when I go to almost any setting and it will say some settings may be hidden or managed by your organisation but this laptop isn't (meant) to be managed as it is my personal one, i tried looking around in group policies (as administrator) and couldn't find anything please can someone help me as I cannot access a lot of settings, thank you. :)

Windows 10 : 2004 / 19.04.329
Installed around 22/07/2020

This is expected if you are using O&O ShutUp10 or similar tool. Otherwise, it is a problem.

Welcome to tenforums.

some settings may be hidden or managed by your organisation

There have been many posts referring to this- once again, it means that either:
- you have created a group policy one way or another, whether via the group policy editor, or by making equivalent registry changes
- or some program has made these changes.

History: (so often omitted by posters):
- how long has this been so?
- can you think of any cause- for example, have you used any means to limit 'telemetry' for fear of privacy issues?

If you have used such a privacy tool, they have a reset option which you might try.

Do you have Home, Pro or something else?

If you have Pro- see
See Applied Group Policies in Windows 10
and
Reset Local Group Policy Editor Settings to Default in Windows 10

Typo, timewarp or premonition?

There are some other threads on the subject that might also help you.

Forward planning, perhaps- anticipation of a future problem?
