"Some of these settings are managed by your organization" Message while trying to change settings

I am surprised at the number of organizations that fail to mention this to their student/employees or just plain assume that they should manage the personal devices connecting to their Azure environment.

Anyways, it appears that their Azure AD settings have been applied to your computer or Windows account. You can try signing out of Teams and restarting the computer to see if that fixes. Otherwise, you will need to edit the registry to remove the portions of the policy settings that have been applied. To do this, run regedit.exe > Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows > there is probably a subkey named Personalization* > right-click and select Delete > restart. You should be able to access the lock screen settings afterwards.

Note, if you do cannot locate the subkey in the path above, then check HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows.

As for the Privacy settings, that is likely configured in the subkey DataCollection in either of the above registry paths.

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is William, I’m an Independent Advisor. I'll be happy to help you out today.

Normally, these setting restrictions are toggled via group policy so I am wondering if you may have connected your device to your work or school via the Accounts panel > Access work or school. If so, and they use Azure AD, you may have glossed over the prompt that asked if "Allow my organization to manage my device" and selected Yes. Doing so can lock out or prevent certain settings from being accessed or changed. You can undo this by removing the work/school account > restarting > and adding it back (if necessary) and selecting No to the prompt.

You're welcome.

Hello, 

I didn't connect my school/work account, i only use it in one application: Teams, where i toggled no, so that the account was only used in that application
