Windows 10: Setup blocked by group policy the installation of this device is forbidden by system policy

Hello! I bought a usb headphones but when I plugged it, it says "the installation of this device is forbidden by system policy" and i looked at the settings it says that the setup is blocked by group policy. How can I fix this? and also i remember when i tried to use a usb this also happened. And just a heads up my profile is the administrator so.... i don't know what's wrong. Please help me. Thanks !

USB Drive Setup Blocked By Group Policy

This does not run for me, on windows 10. Nor did gpedit.msc (per your link). Program not found.

I'm trying to install Microsoft LifeCam VX3000... Setup is being blocked by group policy.

So where to find 'group policy' on Windows 10??

USB Drive Setup Blocked By Group Policy

In my case the group policy was not configured, while the resultant policy device install restriction was enabled, didn't find anywhere to remove this restriction, then i found this registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceInstall\Restrictions

Removing keys with restrictions from there solved my problem

Installation forbidden by system policy

The device in question is a SanDisk 16gb usb drive. It works ok on this Win 7 computer, and it works ok on another Win 10 computer, but on one Win 10 machine I get this message, "The installation of this device is forbidden by system policy."

What's the fix?
