Gpedit in windows 10

[Yehuda25]

After researching for a while, I used the workaround detailed in the link below to install the group policy editor on a new windows 10 pc, however some settings (enable built-in admin account) work from gpedit and others (restrict which software the user can run, disable task manager) still run after being disabled via gpedit. Any ideas?

TIA

Do they offer an upgrade?
There is a reason pro is more expensive

IINM, all of the settings can be accessed thru the Registry. You just need to find the list of corresponding keys.

+1 I have read about that, though the reason I didn't try that was because I had planned on making a user profile, then exporting it to every computer. After messing with the registry would those changes still be there when exported to another pc?

It might work if the keys are in CURRENT_USER, but I'm not sure. The easiest way is probably to export it to a .reg, and then run it on each computer.

I tried exporting to a .reg, (from a windows 7 pc to windows 10) though when I imported the settings in windows 10 it did not work right, any idea why?

It's possible the key locations changed.

I gave up. Thanks for all the suggestions. I am just going to install a copy of the pro/ultimate edition which includes gpedit built in.
