Windows 10: Why is SecPol.msc not on certain versions of Microsoft?

Hello,


I was trying to tighten down some settings on my home computer, in a similar fasion as I do to my customers' computers at work, and noticed something. I have full access to the registry as well as secpol.msc while using Windows Pro or Enterprise when at work. When at home, using Windows Home on my brand new laptop I do not have the same access, as a matter of fact, SecPol.msc and MMC plugins seem to be completely disabled on this version of Microsoft. Why is that? Do I as a home customer no have the same value when it comes to security and safety for my personal data? Since I have Windows 10 Home, does that not mean that I have paid for a licensed copy of this OS? Now, I don't want the "This is company policy" or "that is a feature only in other versions" bit. That is a default for, "we want more money for the same thing" answer. It's already built into the OS, so why is this and the other snap-ins disabled on this platform at this level?

Multiple duplicate .msc files

Hi,

By definition, those file are related to software developer tools:

• Comexp.msc is a type of MSC file associated with Microsoft Developer Network disc 3715 developed by Microsoft.
• Certmgr.msc (Certificate Manager) tool handles certificates, certificate trust lists (CTLs), and certificate revocation lists (CRLs).
• AzMan is a role-based access control (RBAC) framework that provides an administrative tool to run authorization policy and a runtime that permits applications to conduct access checks against that policy.
  

For better assistance, we recommend posting your issue on
Microsoft Developer Network forum since your issue will require some advance troubleshooting steps to be resolved. Also, deleting or modifying the files
may cause harm or conflicts to your computer.

Let us know if you have any other concerns.
