Windows 10: Tech support allowed my personal computer to be managed by organization, how to remove?

During a tech support call, the support agent installed MS Teams and it asked if I wanted to allow my organization to manage my device. He said yes by habit before remembering that this was my personal computer. He did remove the organization's account in Settings, but the policies seem to have stuck.

• Scan your computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner
  to find out if you have malware installed on your computer.

The scammer damaged your PC when you chose not to pay.

I am indeed sometime getting the "this setting is managed by your organization" message (even though I know it's not an "error"); thus, I would have liked to have an exhaustive list of all the settings that are managed by my organization without needing to check every settings page and tabs one by one.
