Windows 10: Using gpedit enabler on Win 10 Home causes issue with Sys File Scan

I ran sfc /scannow the other day and it found corrupted files which it couldn't fix. I checked the CBS log and noticed that it seemed to be related to gpedit which I added to my Win 10 Home Pc some time back with a batch file I found on the net. I then ran the DISM tool. After that i ran the System File Scan again and it said it found errors and fixed them all. I ran it again and no problems were found. Now, gpedit will still run but without the Administrative Templates. I just wrote this thread in case anyone else happened to run into this issue. If anyone wants to install the Group Policy Editor on their Windows 10 Home computer I suggest using the installation program instead of the batch file which you can find here: Download Group Policy Editor for Windows 10 Home Edition 1.0
This way you can uninstall it if desired. I couldn't find a batch file to disable or remove the group Policy Editor that I installed from a batch file.
Hope this thread may be of help to anyone.

GPEDIT is completely ineffective in Win10 PRO

Hi joeyberger,

Sorry for the delay in response

What specific setting did you change in gpedit?

Do you face the issue only with gpedit?

We suggest you to run this command and check.

• Press Win + X keys on the keyboard and select
  Command Prompt(Admin)
• Type sfc /scannow
• After the SFC scan, Type or copy, paste the command in the command prompt
  DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and hit Enter.
• Restart the computer and check.

Thank you.

 

gpedit crashes with error "found an error in a snap-in"

Hi,

Thank you for responding in Microsoft Community.

As you are facing issue with gpedit, this issue might happens due to missing or corrupted system files.

Step 1: I suggest you to run SFC scan and check if it helps.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

• Press Windows + R keys, to open
  Run command.
• Type cmd and hit Enter to open
  Command Prompt.
• Type the command "sfc /scannow" without the quotes
  and hit Enter.
• After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.

Step 2: If the issue still persists, I suggest you to perform clean boot to avoid any third party software conflict and check.

Disclaimer: Putting your system in
Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to follow the steps from the article mentioned below to perform a Clean Boot.
