Windows 10: someof these settings are hiden or managed by your organization

Ive had my laptop for maybe 5 years now and its always said this. I brought it as a floor model and im assuming they didnt turn off some of the settings. Its a touchscreen and the feature never worked and at this point I would simply like to change my lock screen but the settings wont allow. I did some research and HKEYcurrent user down to the push notifications thing didnt work because i didnt see the push notifications option

:)

 

"Some settings are managed by your organization"

I'm trying to enable app notifications, but the slider is grayed out, with a message at the top of the settings pane saying "Some settings are managed by your organization."

• I am not a member of any domain or network
• The issue has persisted between an antivirus replacement and each of those antivirus programs being disabled
• I've already tried setting telemetry to "enhanced" and to "full," as many people have suggested, but to no effect.
• I also do not have the Group Policy Editor, as I am on Home edition, so I am unable to perform any of the fixes through that method.

What do I do?

 

*Some settings are managed by your organization

Did that and it doesn't work.

Open Start Menu and type gpedit.msc.

• Right click on gpedit.msc and Run as Administrator.
• Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Data Collection and Preview Builds.
• Find Allow Telemetry and double click on it.
• Change its setting to Enabled and change the drop down menu entry to 3-Full.

• Click on Apply and OK.
• Again open the file and change setting like before. That means change Enabled to Not Configured.
• Still see: *Some settings are managed by your organization.

Then tried regedit suggestion from other community person that didn't work:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE > Policies > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > PushNotifications.

Now you will see NoToastApplicationNotification. Double click on it.

Now change its value 1 to 0. 1 is default value. You will make it 0.

Click on OK.

Now, Sign out your Microsoft Account. Sign in again.

Issue with this suggestion is that there is no "PushNotifications" listed.

 

Some settings are managed by my organization?

A long while ago, when Win 10 privacy concerns were new, I ran some kind of utility that claimed to stop like 20 violations with one step. Fast forward to today, and I go to do Windows Update, and it tells me in red font color "*Some settings are managed by your organization" - well, I don't have an organization, I'd just like to get Windows Update back to normal. Any idea how?
