Hello Dave, thanks for helping me

Well, it is kind of annoying and abnormal to my opinion that, as computer owners, we do not get a list of the settings managed by our organization.

I am a student that is using his private computer with two accounts, the first as my personal account, and the other as the "work or school account".
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.

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Windows does not store a list of settings managed by your organization, they would probably be listed in the among all the options in the Group Policy Editor, but there is no list of which policies are enabled separately, you would need to look through all the policies.

Please provide more information on this, are you managing PC's in a work environment or are you just using a PC and getting the 'Manage by Organization' error in your Settings app?
