    gpedit.msc is not opening

    I tried to open gpedit.msc in RUN (Window Key + R ) it got error "cannot find gpedit.msc" . When i see the folders GroupPolicy and GroupPolicyUsers in location C:\Windows\SysWOW64 , they are empty, no files.

    Please let me know how to open gpedit.msc ? any download / installer is providing by Microsoft ? (can't believe in other sites Error when opening gpedit.msc :p )

    'app' can't be opened using the Built-in Administrator account

    I keep getting this error with numerous Windows apps. I tried to search on Google and a lot of suggestions is to open "gpedit.msc".

    When I try to open it, I get an error that the file does not exist. I'm out of options.

    Error when opening gpedit.msc

    I wonder if it is because I have every thing about apps/sharing turned off. Also not using a MS account for anything.

    Tried a linux live dvd > too old for that stuff > finally was able to take ownership and delete the file. Fixed until some other crap
    shows up.
