How to fix 'Some settings are managed by your organization' message in Windows 10 Windows 10 brings its own share of inherent bugs and post-update issues despite being Microsoft's most successfully adopted desktop operating system (OS) in history. Its substantially high adoption rate has been credited to the company's decision to offer free Windows 10 upgrade to owners of Windows 7 and 8.1. Meanwhile, some users are reportedly facing system lockdowns on their PCs, wherein they are unable to access certain options in the OS settings due to an inherent bug that throws up an unexpected error message: "Some settings are managed by your organization". It baffles to note that the issue persists even after attempting to unlock the settings using exclusive administrator account with elevated privileges. It is ascertained that an inherent glitch in the privacy settings is the root cause of this issue. However, the issue can be resolved in a few simple steps as outlined below: Steps to fix 'Some settings are managed by your organization' message in Windows 10 Step 1: Launch Start Menu by hitting the Windows Key. Type in gpedit.msc and right-click the app from the search results. Choose Run as Administrator from the context menu. Step 2: In the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), go to Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Data Collection and Preview Builds. Step 3: Find the Allow Telemetry item and double-click it to edit the policies. Step 4: Change the setting to Enabled. Change the drop-down menu entry to 3-Full and click Apply. Step 5: Now open the item again and change its Setting to Not configured and hit the Save button. That's it. The message should no longer stop you from accessing various system settings in Windows 10. ibtimes.co.uk * * *

"Some Settings are Managed" error message When you try to fix this, you'll get a ton of solutions that call for you to use the Group Policy Editor, or GPEdit. Since the Group Policy Editor is NOT available with your Home version of Windows, you'll need to take another approach. In most cases, the Group Policy Editor acts as little more than a convenient method of altering Registry values. Your challenge is to determine which Registry value is causing your difficulty. I'd suggest using Search sites with both your Error Message and Windows Registry Keys in your query. With luck, you'll find something that will work. Cheers, PW. P.S. Here's an example of the type of stuff you may find: Example

Follow-up on my post about "some settings are managed by your organization". I was puzzled because Windows would not let me turn on Windows Update Delivery Optimization. goldworldnet pointed me at a solution using gpedit.msc, which I don't have access to on my Windows 10 Home platform. PMS Witch advised me to search for solutions that altered Registry values. I tried a few of these things without success, but did learn that the problem was likely caused by a bug or bugs in Windows privacy settings. Recalling that soon after I upgraded to Windows 10 I had downloaded and used a privacy helper app that localized all of Windows' myriad privacy settings into one interface, I decided to try one of these to help. I don't recall what program I downloaded a year ago, but today I found and downloaded O&O Shutup 10. It has allowed me to enable Windows Update Delivery Optimization on my system. Thanks again to josh and PMS Witch. LRB
