Windows 10: "This setting is managed by your administrator" on Windows Security settings

Hi! Can anyone help me with this? Ever since my Windows 10 updated, this happened. I cannot control the settings of my Windows Security and it seems like I am not the Administrator of my laptop even though my account states that I am set as the Administrator. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you!

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 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

Yeah unfortunately ASUS and Realtek are not stepping up and fixing this it seems. Wherever I see such problems mentioned on forums some users are suggesting just uninstalling the Realtek driver and using the Windows audio driver.
