    why won't group policy editor open on standalone Windows 10 pro computer?


    My home standalone PC is up-to-date running Windows 10 PRO. The fix to an issue requires a change in the Group Policy Editor, however, when I try to open GPE I get the message "To manage Group Policy you must log on to the computer with a domain user account. I am not part of a domain and never connect to one. I think this changed with the KB4571756 update, but I'm not certain.

    :)

    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.

    GROUP POLICIES IN WINDOWS 10

    You can change Group Policies by opening Group Policy Editor first. You can open it by following these steps:

    • Log in an administrator account. If you are already logged in as an administrator, proceed to step 2.
    • Press Windows + R to open Run.
    • Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.

    After opening Group Policy Editor, you can now make the necessary changes that you want.

    Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.

    Regards.
