Some settings are managed by your organization message on Lock Screen Settings and Google Chrome

My Google Chrome and lock screen report that some settings are being managed by my organization. This all started after an update and I haven't found anything that helps me.

I'm using Windows 10 Home. It's a home only desktop computer, and I don't belong to any organization. I've tried following any number of lists with using gpedit.msc, but when I get to the point of going into data
collection and preview builds, it's not there. so... now what?

See settings managed by organization

Hello Dave, thanks for helping me

Well, it is kind of annoying and abnormal to my opinion that, as computer owners, we do not get a list of the settings managed by our organization.

I am a student that is using his private computer with two accounts, the first as my personal account, and the other as the "work or school account".
I am indeed sometime getting the "this setting is managed by your organization" message (even though I know it's not an "error"); thus, I would have liked to have an exhaustive list of all the settings that are managed by my organization without needing to check every settings page and tabs one by one.
