Windows 10: Setup blocked by group policy

I tried to connect my phone and my drawing tablet to my laptop running Windows 11 but it just says "setup blocked by group policy".It might have something to do with gpedit.msc but in my defense, that was the only way I knew how to disable my laptop keyboard. How to fix this? And is there any other way to disable my internal keyboard without tampering with any other stuff other than the keyboard related stuff?

Setup blocked by group policy

My pc is giving me a message that it needs troubleshooting. I get the following: "Status: Setup blocked by group policy." When I try to print a document I get the message: "Could noet start printer. Check printer configuration." How can I fix this?
