Windows 10: Can't update (due to group policies?)

I recently upgraded from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. Each day I get a message that updates failed, with a 'Some settings are managed by your organization' message. I found a "fix" online that requires the use of gpedit.msc, but when I tried to run that I got a message "could not create the snap-in". This computer is stand-alone and has never been managed by any organization, so I am at a loss about what to do. Any help/ideas would be appreciated!

Get Windows 10 - GP blocking updates

I have a laptop that used to be supported by my office - now that it is not an accepted brand the office won't provide support - but they loaded group policies that do not allow me to install updates. I have a legitimate Windows 7 Professional version that
came installed on the computer, but I can't get updates due to the group policies blocking Windows Updater. I have Adminstrative rights on the computer, but I can't get updates to install. I also don't have the original install disks for Windows 7.

is there a way to resolve this?
