"Some settings are managed by your organisation" on a personal computer

I am seeing the "Some settings are managed by your organisation" message in my Windows Update Settings, and this is impacting my ability to install updates. This problem appeared in the fall of 2017.

I'm running Windows 10 Pro, version 1709, OS Build 16299.664 on a personal device (Surface 2 Pro). It has never been part of an organisation (I am the sole owner, bought it new), although I was until recently a member of the Insider Programme.

So far, I've run the system file check (SFC) scan as recommended

here, and received the message "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.". A Safe Mode reboot did not resolve the issue either. I also looked into
regedit to see if I had an AllowTelemetry value (as recommended

here)... but I don't.

Any help/suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Windows spotlight not displaying vote button + "Some settings are hidden or managed by your organisation"

On Windows 10 with the Fall Creators Update, I was seeing spotlight background pictures on the lock screen, but while my home device would show a voting button and useful information about the picture, my work laptop would skip that part and display the password prompt.

Other threads suggested

1. Opening the Settings app
   
2. Go to Personalization > Lock Screen
   
3. Change Background from Windows Spotlight to Picture.
   
4. Change it back.
   

Only, this interface was also showing the error message "Some settings are hidden or managed by your organisation" and didn't allow chaging the Background setting.
