    Privacy settings grayed out after update to 1803


    Hi all,

    I have multiple machines in my organization that have all privacy settings grayed out(Some settings are hidden by your organization).
    The worst is that all settings are set to "Off", so no microphone/camera/notifications and etc.
    These are domain-joined machines, but I can confirm that this is not a gpo, and it happened after upgrading to 1803.
    I've been trying to enable the Mic/Camera via registry/group policy, but nothing works so far.
    Also tried to reset all privacy settings with app called O&O Shutup - no go again.

    Any Ideas?

    :)

    Windows 10: Some privacy settings grayed out


    Hi guys, I've been using Windows 10 for a few weeks now and I was looking to get Cortana to work. However, Cortana tells me that I need to allow it to access contacts. I clicked settings and I saw that all the settings were on, but were grayed out.

    When I take a look at some of the other settings, some are also grayed out and some are not. When I go to the general tab, I get this:

    Sometimes if I look through the privacy settings, the settings app just crashes for no reason without warning and I'm left confused and unable to enable Cortana.

    I hope I've given enough info that can be used to solve my problem. Any help is appreciated, thanks! Privacy settings grayed out after update to 1803 :)

    That's not how you enable Cortana anyway...

    Click on Cortana -> Notebook -> Settings
