Windows 10: How to remove "This setting is Managed by your administrator."

My PC doesn't belong to any workstation or group. But it still doesn't allow me to change the setting. I tried lot of suggested solutions but in vain. Please help me to resolve this problem.

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

 

Removing/changing Administrator

Hi Mike,

We are sorry to hear about the loss.

Before assisting we would like to know:

The account you are speaking about is it a Microsoft Administrator Account or a Local Administrator Account?

• 
  If it is a Microsoft Administrator Account then Password cannot be removed.
  
• 
  In order to remove the Password Protection for a Local Administrator Account you would need to Enable the Build In Administrator Account. This will help you in removing the Password.
  
• 
  To Enable the Build In Administrator Account Please follow the below steps:
  

• 
  Press Windows Logo + X
  
• 
  Click on Command Prompt (Administrator).
  
• 
  Type: net user administrator /active: yes
  
• 
  Hit Enter
  
• 
  Now you will be able to remove the Password, to remove the Password please follow the below link:How do I remove password protection from Windows 10 Home Insider Preview?
  

As per the Description you have mentioned as you see an error as "change settings are currently unavailable." We would request you to help us with the Screenshot of this error.

*Some settings are managed by your organisation

I see that message after rebooting having installed updates. The message goes away after a couple of minutes or if you do another manual search for updates. I just put this down to the usual MS lax quality control.

You can peruse All Tasks in both places in Group Policy Editor to see if anything has been configured. I've solved that message "Some settings are managed by...." as follows:

1. Open Group Policy Editor and peruse both listings for Administrative Templates / All settings
2. Find any rules related to your problem - in this case Windows Update
3. Select Enabled for each rule, select Apply. Then select Not Configured, select Apply.
4. Toggling the rules on/off as above has removed the message "Some settings .." a few times for me. I don't know whybut it works!
