    W10 Home missing Group Policy Editor, automatically compressed all my files


    Who the hell decided that this is a feature that is automatically enabled?


    Who the hell gave you permission to edit my files?


    Why the hell do I have to MANUALLY go through every file 1 by 1 disabling compression?


    Please tell me how to restore the compressed files quickly & how to prevent this from ever happening again. I don't care if my C: drive isn't running optimally due to limited space, the decision to compress my files is MINE and mine ONLY. I never wanted you to touch my files & I never want this to happen again.


    I've talked up W10 for years to friends who were reluctant to switch & now I'm starting to wish I never did.


    Thanks.

    :)

    Administrative template missing in group policy editor.

    I have Windows 10 version 1909 (OS Build 18363.1171).I want to speed up the loading of thumbnails in the file explorer for pdf files. I went to this article and it lists the steps that involve editing the group policy. https://www.guidingtech.com/speed-up-thumbnail-loading-windows-10/


    Unfortunately, I am not getting the administrative template in my group policy editor and cannot proceed.

    I am the sole user of my laptop with admin privileges. Please advise.

    I tried installing admin templates from this link but it didn't solve my issue.

    group policy editor

    Hi Tony,

    Group Policy Editor in Windows is a tool to help you manage policy settings. Here's how you can access the Local Group Policy Editor:

    • Press Win+R to open Run.
    • Type gpedit.msc, and then click OK.

    Let us know how else we can help.

    W10 Home missing Group Policy Editor, automatically compressed all my files

    missing components group policy editor

    I've been trying to enable Reopen last browsing session. I have a brand new Win 10 home laptop. I've finally got group policy editor installed and some options/folders are missing. local computer policy/administrative templates/windows components/internet
    explorer/internet control panel . This folder only contains folders for security page and advanced page. I need a folder labeled "General Page" to enable Reopen last browsing session. I have the same list under internet control panel in the user configuration
    menu. How do I add folders (and their contents) that are missing from the group policy editor?
