Windows 10: Device Manager and Group policy editor restricted

As I said in the title, I can't open Device Manager and Group policy editor. I am just shown an error message telling me these apps have been restricted by a system administrator. But this is happening on my private Computer where I am the only administrator and I did not put these restrictions into place. I already activated the hidden administrator account and there I can use these programs, but I want to use them on my main account. How do I lift the restrictions?

Hi Tony,

Group Policy Editor in Windows is a tool to help you manage policy settings. Here's how you can access the Local Group Policy Editor:

• Press Win+R to open Run.
• Type gpedit.msc, and then click OK.

Let us know how else we can help.

 

Group Policy editor warning






This notice appears each time the Group Policy editor is opened, and takes two clicks on OK to close.
Simple steps to banish it?

Checked out this article, but was unable to rename the two files mentioned. I did delete them, however, and this removed the error message. What damage that did is ... to be discovered. ^_^ Files are in RECYCLE bin.

GROUP POLICIES IN WINDOWS 10

You can change Group Policies by opening Group Policy Editor first. You can open it by following these steps:

• Log in an administrator account. If you are already logged in as an administrator, proceed to step 2.
  
• Press Windows + R to open Run.
• Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
  

After opening Group Policy Editor, you can now make the necessary changes that you want.

Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.

Regards.
