Windows 10: Policy Editor Not Available In Win 10 Home Edition

Well it cannot end in disaster if there is a system image. And I have added gpedit to various Windows 8.1 home editions without experiencing problems.

 

A bit old topic,but might still come in need for people with non windows 7 ultimate/windows 10 pro editions.
You can still edit group policies in Windows 10 Home,but you have to do it manually.
It's kinda odd nobody made a custom Windows 10 Group Policy Editor for people with Home editions, since the full documentation is available..
Microsoft has Group Policy Reference available for download on their site, and works very well (ofcourse,since the settings are the same on all editions) on Windows 10 Home too..
See+download here.

 

That's product segmentation for ya.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there is some sort of MS licensing voodoo preventing third party applications from adding a GP cloning. Same with shoe-horning domain joining capability in Home.

 

Hi,

Installed this on Home editions a couple of times and it works just fine:

Makes sure to follow the extra steps for X64 editions.

Not really missing GPEdit in Home anymore than to the Winaero Tweaker. Many annoyances that before can only be fixed in the Pro version with GPEdit can be fixed using the Tweaker.

 

Hi RedDice, hope you're enjoying a perfect day.

I'm gonna' get me one of these: "the Winnebago Tweaker".

I have not tried it with Home but with Winaero I don't really need it anymore.
