enter image description here

I have a Windows 10 laptop that just finished installing 1803. I go into windows update to check for new updates and it shows me this line of text: "Some settings are managed by your organization". I click "view configured update policies" and it shows that there are 3 policies set by the administrator, as seen in the image above.

I am the only one who uses this computer for personal use only. Is there a way to remove their group policies?

  • Are you on a domain? If so, you need the domain administrator. If not, you can use gpedit.msc to change the policies – InterLinked Jul 15 '18 at 16:34
  • Are you using third-party privacy tools such ShutUp10 or W10 Privacy? These may use Group Policy settings in the Registry to control update. If not, the see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/328010/how-to-configure-automatic-updates-by-using-group-policy-or-registry-s – DrMoishe Pippik Jul 15 '18 at 18:23

    You can also run gpresult /h command to export the group policy to confirm the situation. – Waka Jul 18 '18 at 10:04
  • @InterLinked I am not on a domain. This is my own personal computer. – Registered User Jul 18 '18 at 13:35
  • @DrMoishePippik I don't have those installed. – Registered User Jul 18 '18 at 13:36

  • @RegisteredUser You can still use Group Policy even if you are not on a domain, if you have the Professional version of Windows or better. You may still have policies that are being applied. Try running "rsop.msc" when you press WIN+R – InterLinked Jul 18 '18 at 15:37
  • @InterLinked, my guess this is Windows 10 Home, so the user will not have rsop.msc... Registry editing is needed. – DrMoishe Pippik Jul 18 '18 at 18:54
  • @DrMoishePippik If his screen says that group policies are being applied, that seems unlikely – InterLinked Jul 18 '18 at 19:42
  • Not at all: it's easy to set Group Policies in the Registry, and the applications I cited do so. Trying to change these settings, e.g. in Privacy, shows the message "Some settings are managed by your organizations." The Group Policy Editor is simply a tool left out of Windows 10 Home to differentiate it from more expensive versions, but most underlying mechanisms are the same. – DrMoishe Pippik Jul 19 '18 at 00:13
  • @DrMoishePippik I have rsop.msc up because i have windows 10 pro. What settings should i change? – Registered User Jul 22 '18 at 11:32

Change the privacy configuration:

Settings -> Privacy -> Feedback & diagnostics -> Diagnostics and usage data, change it to Enhanced.
