Windows 10: Error when opening gpedit.msc

Started to get it a couple months ago. Time to look into it. Not really sure how.

Copy of the closest file name I could find

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 )

'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.

 

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

 

On updated to 1511 machines gpedit.msc reports namespace conflict - Windows 10 Forums

 

Thank you for that. Didn't really know where to dig !!!

 

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.
