I didnt get the editor until i ran the installer after the batch file. In this example, you could change the setting to Enabled, then choose option 3 - Windows Auto download and notify for install, followed by your preferred installation day and time. I followed the above steps but still received the “MMC could not create the snap-in” error.
Well I have tried both methods and I still cannot get gpedit to run in my version of Windows 10. I’m a certified Windows and IT expert and you sound like you’re 10 years old and don’t understand about false positives. I welcome people choosing between us which one to trust. Eric you can disable OneDrive using Group Policy of the local computer.
How to Access the Group Policy Editor in Windows Home
It only enables components of Windows related to the group policy editor. I can confirm that it won’t do any harm to your system. The installation executed with a series of similar installs, which took time – but worked. With the group policy editor now installed, proceeding to prevent MS from accessing systems at their whim.

I’ve been looking everywhere for how to get the proper Windows 10 administrative templates. This should be the safest method as the packages are downloaded/installed from Microsoft. I wrote you earlier today re problem with gpedit.msc not installing but have now fixed by reimaging my computer with a recent known perfect image. Must have had some corrupted files. Thank you for your support in the mean time.
Gpedit on Windows 8.1 home
Unfortunately… more components are needed than just adding the GPEDIT to make it properly work. The script that I needed to run at shutdown works fine when executed manually, but is completely ignored when added through GPEDIT. And BTW, earlier it was mentioned that Remote Desktop isn’t present in the Home edition either? Wrong, it is present on my system and works just fine, without having to add anything. This is a simple PowerShell script that will install the disabled Group Policy feature in the Windows 10 Home edition.
The second method with the powershell, the Batch File (gpedit-enabler.bat), worked for me Enable Group Policy Editor in Windows 10... Group Policy Management is a feature reserved for the Professional, Enterprise, and Education editions of Windows. But with a few tweaks, Home users can enable the Local Group Policy Editor, or you can use a third-party tool to access a more comprehensive collection of settings. After being sure the .bat file zips were fully unpacked, got a cool official looking Group Policy editor. Unfortunately, I’m trying to disable OneDrive, and this GP of yours does not list it. It’s something you get with the GP of the Pro version, apparently.
Way 3: Turn on Group Policy Editor through searching.
The point is that we can’t use this gpedit package to change anything from Vista onward, so that includes OneDrive. It may also be that some things, like automatic updates might’ve undergone changes in the last 4 Windows versions so that the old policies doesn’t work. When you get down to it, this gpedit ability isn’t nearly as exciting or useful as it first seems, but it’s better than nothing. For those having difficulties with the simple instructions. PLEASE SEE the comment by D Admin below dated October 29, 2016.
A window launches that lists the folder permissions. There might actually be two different sets of permissions listed for “Administrator” depending on the subfolder you are in. Your administrator account is limited when it comes to the OS folders.
Followed all steps to the letter, did not work for me. And also, when I go to setting of WD, the button to on/off virus protection is slight black marked. Dude Frank, you sound like an insane person. I understand legitimate privacy concerns but your exaggerations make you sound like you don’t know what your talking about.
I shall let my friends know of your site. Preventing windows update from changing the login background from the custom one selected to their default. Opened “run” from windows key, typed in gpedit.msc and voila! After following the above-mentioned steps, you should have a working Group Policy Editor in Windows 10 Home edition.
It may take some time depending upon your system performance. When the process is complete, press any key to close the command prompt window. On my Window 10 Home version, I don’t have Group Policy Editor, will it solve my problem if I install it? Everywhere I read, it says I need “gpedit.msc” to get rid of the error message. Right-clicking on the bat file for x64 and running as admin did not work for me either, but Skar’s idea of doing the cmd prompt as admin and running it worked fine.
You can install as well as enable GPEdit.msc program in any edition of Windows OS. Hi Guys I have just got windows 10 and I am trying to activate the action centre but it seems I don't have gpedit.msc , I upgraded from 8.1 . Can someone help me with this please. Can't help you with backing up your gpedit settings but your product code is good for 32 bit or 64 bit, it's your choice. If you set your computer to install Windows updates automatically, some of these patches want to reboot your PC, however, it's not convenient.
If you were to host my installer and link it in the article, however, fewer people would go looking through these comments for help. I installed and replaced the files. Duplicated the files in sysWOW64, thus can search gor gpedit.msc. Installed file x86.bat and x64.bat, run the files as well. But I am still facing the “MMC could not create the snap-in” issue. The instructions worked but a novice may not know that you also need to run the installer in the temp gpedit folder after you run the batch file there .
And switching to Linux isn’t an option for everyone as OS dependencies are a thing among software. The second method worked fine on my brand-new PC with Windows 10 Home. Although you’ll be able to activate the group policy editor, there are some rules that simply do not work in Windows 10. Prohibit access to Control Panel should be one of them. If you only want to share the printer, then its possible to create a Workgroup instead of the domain and it can be done without using the group policy editor. Preventing systems from being used as update software sources without permission.
