Windows 10: Can't open gpedit. Due to Group Policy Error

My gpedit.msc won't open because I have some sort of Goup Policy Error. I have tried fixing the issue by using secpol.


There is also no files in my Group Policy file in system 32

:)

 

gpedit group policy does not working

OS: windows 10 home

Starting gpedit from start>run>gpedit.msc, the Group Policy Window opens, but I get the following error in the right hand window:

MMC could not create the snap-in

MMC could not create the snap-in. The snap-in might not have been installed correctly

Name: Group Policy Object Editor

CLSID: {8FCOB734-A0E1-11D1-A7D3-0000F87571E3}

Please advise on how to fix the problem

Thanks

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.
