Windows 10: Removing "organization" from Account in Windows10

HI everyone,


i recall when i installed windows 10 upgrade from windows 8.1 i was asked if i was part of an organization and i vaguely recall selecting yes due to security advantages.


I now cannot activate my location or perform certain tasks as i keep getting the red message that my pc is administered and settings are restricted by my organization.


my Cortana also refuses to work as it tells me it is unable to due to company settings.


PLEASE help me deactivate this or remove my pc from the organization?


I really would love to regain full control over my pc.

thanks in advance!

:)

Windows10 Update "Some Settings are Managed by Your Organization"

When Windows updates alerts me to available new Updates Ready to be installed....in Red I now see "Some settings are Managed by Your organization"...Please see attachment ....

This began about 2 months ago following the creation of a new user Account. A Display issue was causing my Win10 Start List not to show any Text to the right of the programs in the lists and the solution to correct that issue from another Post here...suggested
creating a new User account.... The instructions were detailed, I followed each step...the new User Account was created and it resolved the issue....

Following the creation of the New user acct, every time Window Updates are offered....the Alert in red "Some Settings are managed by Your organization" displays (see Attachment). The old User account never displayed this Alert.

Clicking on "View Configured Update Policies....it seems this alert is being caused by Mobile Device Management????

I have no idea what that means, or, how any settings would have been set to have some of my settings managed by your organization.

My PC is one of 3 PC's in my Home....it has never been connected to any organization...ie work, etc. During the creation of the New user account at no time was there anything that addressed Organization, Mobile devices during the creation of the New
user Acct.

How do I remove this Alert?
