Followed all steps to the letter, did not work for me. I upgraded 8. After following the steps above, this final solution worked for me.
Now, gpedit works fine…. I had the same error message. What should i do to get the group policy editor. I have two identical PC systems at home, Windows 10 prof, build , 64 bit. The other does not work with the user names displayed on login screen.
No error messages using gpedit. Script parameters look like it is not being executed. Thanks, Jack. When i install this package based on Windows 10 Homme x64bits, and call gpedit. Configuration and setting which do not affect the system and Windows continue to Automatic updates. I have to do some more moves doing the same way: Program appmgr. Then run X And that was it — succesfull! I followed instructions step by step but when I run gpedit.
Ok so i believe i had the install go according to plan. I get the snapin to run. Its the outdated looking version. I assume that it is running correctly. Now the problem im having is how do i get the windows 10 templates on here. I attempted to get them from microsoft but the tables available were in a different format and was not compatible.
Is it supposed to be antiquated? Is there a way to reverse the xml tables into the supprted format? Is there another option? My reason for going through this is that i got hit with an adware trojan and it decimated my group policies within my registry. Ive seen others mention the problem of not having the applicable templates but no responses to the fact. For those having difficulties with the simple instructions. If you follow what it says there it will work. Pay careful attention to steps If you click on START, there should be an icon for your windows account on the left side of the screen above the 4 icons for power, settings, file explorer, and documents.
Click on it to login. It will be a new account and so be patient because Windows will have to set up the account before you will be able to use it. Once I found the downloaded install file I simply followed the original instructions and then — since I have a 64bit Win installation — I copied and pasted the two directories and the gpedit.
Then I logged out of the Administrator account Step 7 and back into my regular Windows account Step 8 and completed the rest of the steps. I thought I would add this little bit of extra context in case some might benefit from it.
Thx for the wonderful article. But even after following all the steps gpedit. I think instead of directly running x Can somebody show me the direction, where to dig further? Therefore, I used your tutorial to install the Group Policy Editor.
In the Group Policy Editor, I need to navigate to:. Thank you Microsoft, my heart attack is due to you. To everyone experiencing errors installing the snap in, the following might be of some importance to you:. I am following your steps carefully. I can still download things in a pen drive and follow the guide from another laptop, but how can I be sure that other simply tasks, like opening a browser or transfering files from a pen drive will work? I keep reading this looking for some purpose to opening the dialogue box but I am not seeing it….
Your comment is full of nonsensical statements and hysteria. Maybe go back to writing things by hand and storing records in paper documents in filing cabinets. My Win 10 says upon running gpedit.
It started to work asking if I wanted this app to make changes to my hard drive. The snap-in might not have been installed correctly. I have done everythings , but still MMC error show. Please help me and let me know if there got any other way to solve. Followed the instructions for download exactly. Got the MMC error. Followed the fix instructions exactly. Still have the MMC error. Running version Is there a fix for this version.
Did that and it worked. Thank you and it worked. Obviously there is an issue with Win 10 Anniversary version. Please tell us when a fix is available or how to remove your installed software. Your suggestions are excellent. I was able to install the group policy editor on my tablet. The anniversary update removed the ability to disable the pre-lock screen image. It is an image of their own choosing, which you cannot control. Thanks, Microsoft.
Virus Total is a web service with 57 anti virus engines. Probably much better than the only one you use! And again. Ever heard of Google? I ran the enabler past virustotal. Between this and the fact Win 10 is clobbering devices nothing new to Microsoft Win 10 may be one of the most hostile operating systems on the planet.
Running Win10 v x I followed all these instructions, including those specific to a bit system. I installed the program successfully. But when I run the gpedit. Really , using this GPE is only going to allow some tweaks, am I the only power user left on planet earth?? Apparently you only have no idea how much faster it is to set a policy than to edit the registry for computers.
Oh, wait, they need another change, lets go change another computers cause we are smart as crack heads and want to play in the registry to show we are power users.
I am trying to change device driver installation timeout using device installation folder in gpedit. Please help? Worked perfect for me! Do everything in the directions.
Worked a Charm. Personally I never try system hacks. Usually cause more problems than they solve. Group Policy Editor was removed from Home Editions simply because too many people were needing tech support after screwing something up. MS figures your average Pro user is less likely to do that. Groan all you want. However every thing you can do with GPE you can do in the registry. MS has made an Excel file available to show where to go to change what.
Thank you. Thanks for this tool. Is this a case of deleting the install files or will I need to perform another action such as registry change? I tested this trick out years ago but it remains ineffective despite being enabled and therefore a waste of time. But still it remains executable. By contrast, on a Professional Windows edition the same restriction does become active. So in short, it seems your wasting your time getting the GUI on Home editions as it still remains ineffective to the OS.
I was hoping to disable Lock Screen but without this option in GPE I will have to resort to the Registry tweak via an elevated command prompt:. Quick question. Should I have an installation entry? Thanks in advance! Should I be seeing this? Better safe than sorry. Thank you! Which file did you download? Is it the one which we mentioned in the article or someone in the comments? It was the one in the main body of the article. Thanks for getting back! If you were to host my installer and link it in the article, however, fewer people would go looking through these comments for help.
Please consider it. Kevin thanks for the update. I have tried it and it works while running as an administrator. This worked fine as far as it went. My problem is that I want to apply a policy to a specific user so I need to be able to add the group policy editor as a snap in to the MMC when I open the mmc the and try to add a snap in the group policy editor is not available I can run gpedit.
I installed and replaced the files. Duplicated the files in sysWOW64, thus can search gor gpedit. Installed file x Eric you can disable OneDrive using Group Policy of the local computer. Please refer to this Microsoft guide for doing this. For advanced users, OneDrive can also be disabled using Windows Registry. You can follow this Microsoft guide for disabling OneDrive using Registry.
I welcome people choosing between us which one to trust. My systems works on 64 bits, under W Thanks for your effort to read all this. Tried the updated install, and still get the issue that the MMC could not create the snap in. All I need to do is allow myself to install network protocols.
If you have another way to do this, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks in advance. I installed correctly in Windows 10 Home 64 bits following the steps one by one. I run gpedit. Same thing for me. Sorry, but the setup file is corrupted by 1 Trojan virus and 2 malware!!! So still looking for trusted source file!
How did you determine the setup is bad? I ran the setup and used the gpedit which allowed TurboTax to update properly ie. Now you have me worried.. You can see on the file host site that it comes up clean with ClamAV and Sophos. Installed with no problems on W10 Home x64 and seems to run OK. Thanks you to solve to horrible Microsoft missing in the home Edition.
Thanks Thanks Thanks. After being sure the. Your instructions were perfect. The only settings that we can access are ones defined in old ADM templates. Unfortunately, that mostly means settings from Windows and XP. Those policies may be more baked into the system than a handful of DLLs or maybe Microsoft implemented some security to prevent this kind of use on other editions; who knows. However, changing the settings in Windows Update the reason for installing gpedit in the first place does not appear to have any effect.
Updates advanced still on shows Automatic etc. Any ideas? Well I have tried both methods and I still cannot get gpedit to run in my version of Windows Whenever I try to run it I get error message Windows cannot find gpedit. So any further suggestions would be appreciated. If not or even if so , run it as an administrator. I decided to take the files from the installer and try to create a better installer that just works, without errors and without extra steps needed.
I also added two features: the option to create Start Menu and Desktop icons and the ability to uninstall it upon which all of your original files will be restored. Give my installer a try and tell us if it works and solves the errors. Some people have been clicking on the fake links around it and downloading who-knows-what, instead, then accusing me of uploading something packed with viruses.
Same problem as yours, but I figure it out. Run x86 or x64 as administrator, and run installer. The mmc should be work. Sorry for my bad english.
I succeded with installing gpedit. Where can be the problem? Thanks for that — it seems to work perfectly on Win 10 Home edition — 64 bit version. Upgraded from Win8. Regards ,. JH thanks a lot for the feedback. You can access the Local Group Policy Editor in several ways. If this doesn't work, you either don't have Administrator privileges, or you're running Windows Home and don't have access to the Local Group Policy Editor.
Fortunately, you don't have to upgrade to the Pro edition of Windows to tweak group policies. We explain how to enable the Local Group Policy Editor on Windows Home below, but we recommend checking out the following third-party tool first. Before you try to enable the Local Group Policy Editor, consider using a more convenient and more powerful alternative. Policy Plus is an open-source tool that gives you access to settings in the Group Policy Editor and the Windows Registry.
Policy Plus is compatible with all Windows editions. It requires. NET Framework version 4. We recommend installing the more stable Release build. The categories in the left-hand column, however, follow a slightly different logic that we find easier to navigate.
If you're using the Windows Home edition, switch to see settings in the Computer category only, since your system will ignore changes to per-user Group Policy Objects; you'll need to make those changes in the Windows Registry instead.
Changing the settings works just like it does in the Group Policy Editor; more on that below. Note that if you're using Windows Home, you'll have to restart or log off and back on to activate changes. Whether you're on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8. The proper installation with this tool requires a couple of tweaks and. NET Framework version 3. You will need a DevianArt account. You might have to manually navigate to that folder.
If your Windows username contains more than one word, you might have to adjust your installation. Right-click x If you can't find a gpedit.
