group policy configuration and settings
okay so i got windows 10 home ik i screwed but whatever i used a work around and moved grouppolicy folders and installed gpedit and i can open and look but search is missing and the admin templates are grayed out, so am i an idiot or am i just missing something simple? im by no means a tech guru or wizard but im not a absolute moron either, im running out of ideas and material to google, any help would be appreciated im just trying to disable useless windows 10 features id rather not have drawing power. Templates are already added when i started (conf,inetres,system,wmplayer,wuau)
Get Win 10 Pro right away. You don’t require GP; Regit can help.
We’ve been discussing this a lot, but I managed to get a win 10 home like just a month ago. I skipped doing my research once and ended up getting caught off guard. I’m hoping I avoided another $100 expense. Thanks for opening regedit and searching—it helped me find the issue. Now it’s working. Bye, Cortana and Windows Defender, plus that useless Bluetooth thing. How is this piracy? The Gpedit isn’t there, but the policy and group files are. I own my Windows copy, so I’m confident. I only used group policy because I read it could disable certain files. I think regedit will be better, but with what I assume was the creators’ update that moved folders around, I can’t locate what I need.
Well... you don't possess Windows, everyone here doesn't. You simply have a LICENSE to use it. Laws in many places, including the U.S. and Canada, treat breaking the license agreement as piracy. Accessing features beyond what your license allows is considered illegal. Unlocking additional capabilities in the Windows edition exceeds permitted usage, which is clearly piracy. In reality, nearly all non-open-source software you encounter isn't yours—except a few exceptions. Everything is based on licensing. This explains why you see the large text before downloading or installing a program. To be clear, even open-source projects operate under licenses, but they let you modify and distribute them freely (with some conditions). In certain situations, you might need to release your code as open source too, depending on the license terms. But regardless, gpedit isn't necessary at all, as you observed.
