Windows 10: Some Settings Are Managed by An Administrator in Settings

I just upgraded a PC to v1903. Now in my user account I see the message below in the Privacy section of Settings for many Options - Some Settings Are Managed by an Administrator.

This message wasn't present before the upgrade and I have nothing set in Group Policy. The message is not shown under Settings in the admin account.

Is this normal behaviour for v 1903?

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

 

*Some settings are managed by your organisation

I see that message after rebooting having installed updates. The message goes away after a couple of minutes or if you do another manual search for updates. I just put this down to the usual MS lax quality control.

You can peruse All Tasks in both places in Group Policy Editor to see if anything has been configured. I've solved that message "Some settings are managed by...." as follows:

1. Open Group Policy Editor and peruse both listings for Administrative Templates / All settings
2. Find any rules related to your problem - in this case Windows Update
3. Select Enabled for each rule, select Apply. Then select Not Configured, select Apply.
4. Toggling the rules on/off as above has removed the message "Some settings .." a few times for me. I don't know whybut it works!

 

Some settings are managed by my organization?

Hmmm... looks like gpedit doesn't see the registry settings created by that tool you used as having configured any of the policies.

Your screenshot in post #3 has a long list of apparently configured policies. The only thing I can suggest is to find each policy in turn in gpedit, set it to ' enabled' and click 'Apply', then set it back to 'not configured' and click OK. Try that with the top one in the list of 'view configured update policies', the 'Notify to download updates' one, and see if it removes it from the list of configured policies. If so, repeat for all the rest.

If that doesn't work you are searching for a needle in a haystack if want to find and delete all the registry settings that your 'security' too has created *Sad
