Windows 10: Windows 10 PC stuck in restricted mode

I had an old Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop running Vista and did not want to toss in the trash as it was lightly used.
So I thought it would be useful for web browsing etc.

I purchased a OEM key for Windows 10 Home from Kingquist (after reading an article in Tom's Hardware Guide that said it is legal and just surpluses).

Did a clean install using the ISO method from a USG flash drive. No issues, Activated via Microsoft's phone activation line.

Issue:

A month later, I go to youtube to see a particular match of the Judo World Championships.

I type in the search box, "tina trystenjak judo hansakumake"

I get a message

"Some results have been removed because Restricted Mode is enabled by your network administrator.
FILTER"

I am the admin of the laptop and there are no other user accounts on it.
I got this error on Edge and then tried installing Chrome and turning off Restricted mode from that browser.
However it had no effect.

I read so many posts saying this is not fixed. It is not a youtube issue because another PC does not show the same message.

Windows 10 PC stuck in restricted mode

Since your problem originates in YouTube, and not Windows 10 - so creating a new user account makes no sense - you should post in
Community forum - YouTube Help.

As you'll see, there are quite a few 'stuck in Restricted mode' posts. Hopefully there's an answer that works for you.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
