Windows 10: Problems with: Sync Your Settings because "*Some of these settings are hidden or managed by...

Hey everyone,

I recently bought a new computer and would love to simply transfer all my settings and files via OneDrive to it, but for some reason I am not capable of activating that setting.


First off some system information so you know what we're working with:

Version: Windows 10 Insider Preview: Build 20175.1000

Type: Laptop Lenovo YOGA 730-15IWL

System Manufacturer: Lenovo

System Model: 81JS

System Type: x64-based PC

BIOS Mode: UEFI

Processor: IntelR CoreTM i7-8565U CPU @1.8Ghz, 2001MHz, 4 Cores, 8 Logical Processors

RAM: 16GB

I do not believe the hardware has anything to do with this, yet if you need any other information, please let me know!


I am signed in with a Microsoft live account or so I believe, please fill me in if I am wrong here, but this account has Office 365 licenses and I can use it to log into Microsoft's webpage, if that is not what a Microsoft live account is, then please help me as you can see in the following two pictures:




As you can see, I am getting the error "Some of these settings are hidden or managed by your organization" and all the settings are greyed out, meaning I cannot interact with them.


I blurred out my E-Mail address, but as you can see, it is a Gmail and not a G-Suite E-Mail address or anything related to an organization. I was, however, once signed in with an organization G-Suite account, yet now I am signed out and that account was even terminated:





The only account signed into this machine is an @gmail.com mail address, meaning there shouldn't be anything managed by anyone but myself.



The following things I have already tried:

1. I changed my settings from the local group policy editor:

=>Windows + R -> gpedit.msc -> User-> Configuration -> Administrative Templates->Start Menu and Taskbar -> Notifications-> Turn off toast notifications ==> DISABLE


2. I edited my registry data collection:

=>Windows + R -> Regedit -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ->SOFTWARE -> Policies -> Microsoft ->WindowsDataCollection

==> AllowTelemetry DWORD Change value to1


3. Enabled Telemetry Services:

=> Windows + R -> services.msc -> Connected User Experiences and Telemetry

==> Startup type: Automatic click "Apply"




The following things you still can try out, but I could not even try them for the following reasons:

The following things I wanted to try but couldn't:

1. I could NOT change my diagnostic and usage data within the settings

=> Settings -> Privacy ->Diagnostics and Feedback

==> Find "Diagnostic and usage Data"and change it from Basic to Enhanced or Full.

REASON WHY I COULDN'T DO IT: That setting doesn't exist in my version of Windows Windows 10 Insider Preview 20175.1000


2. I could NOT change my registry to delete "Wuserver"

=>Windows + R -> Regedit -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Policies -> Microsoft ->WindowsUpdate

==> Delete "Wuserver"

REASON WHY I COULDN'T DO IT: The folder "WindowsUpdate" doesn't exist in my registry and thus couldn't find "Wuserver"


3. I could NOT check my antivirus

REASON WHY I COULDN'T DO IT: I do not have an antivirus installed. Only Windows Defender, but as far as I know that does not mess with Windows Sync Settings please correct me if I am wrong.


4. I could NOT set the startup type of "dmwappushsvc" to "Automatic"

I was told that I needed to do this in order to enable Telemetry

=> Windows + R -> services.msc -> dmwappushsvc

==> Startup type: Automatic click "Apply"

REASON WHY I COULDN'T DO IT: It does not exist in myservices window.

5. I could NOT check scheduled tasks

=> Windows Key + S -> search for "Task Scheduler" -> Open it -> expand Safer-Networking -> Select Spybot Anti-Beacon

==> choose "Delete"

REASON WHY I COULDN'T DO IT: Couldn't find "Safer-Networking."


I hope this question either helped you find a solution for your problem, but I moreover hope that you can help me, as nothing seems to work here! If you have any idea of what I can do and it is nothing that I have tried before etc. then please help me find a solution!

Sync Your Settings 'some of these settings r hidden or managed by you'

Hi, here's how it should look:



Notice I am using a live id account- a MS account- and email address- not a local account.

What sort of account are you logging in with?

That relates to the second yellow message.

The first, as you perhaps know, refers to relevant group policy settings being applied. ('your organisation').

You haven't said if you're using Home or Pro explicitly, but have referred to using group policies. I would suggest you look through those that are configured - using this filter will help:



and look for ones that apply here and set them to default.
