Recently updated to windows 11 and i noticed that some settings have this notification on top and that some settings are locked

Edition Windows 11 Home

Version 22H2

Installed on ‎01-‎03-‎2023

OS build 22621.1344

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22639.1000.0

I have checked if there are any accounts other than mine, but there are none except for mine (Administrator)
Saw that some got it fixed by removing some registry keys and restarting, but that has not worked for me.

Edit: Solved by reinstalling Windows 11 using an ISO

Edit 2: It seems that the cause of this is the optional update for Windows 11 (KB502213)
The issue appears when I update to the optional update for Windows 11 (KB502213). After uninstalling the update, the issue disappears

    Not only that- it's dependency on Edge to operate is total garbage and my current nightmare. My laptop was compromised and it got into my one drive. None of the so called safeguards caught any of it. You can Google the Edge2WebHelper and watch as windows gets infiltrated and cookies are literally copied and pasted by an attacker who now has everything on your system. It's a pathetic joke and as a subscriber- I'm outright pissed. Not only has my personal files been grabbed but also our business. There needs to be some serious accountability. None of the MS tools- even the emergency one works. These hackers are manipulating MS files and going to town. My system says Windows 11 Home but in reality it's miniNT running full Enterprise- I have all the Enterprise folders in the registry and they are remote connecting. They have even set up BT and printers as a makeshift dial up. It's absolutely maddening. I've been shut down for over a month now because so far absolutely no AV is finding it. I have tried literally every company. Tried their scans, cleared all their files out and tried the next one- nobody has fixed it. So far manually drag and dropping files into VirusTotals page has been the only real yield but at 3mil+ files per machine x5 machines I'll be dead before I'm done. I done full nuclear reinstalls and even with reformatting it's not clearing it out and it's not my MS account either. As far as I can tell it's in ini, jpeg and png files as embedded code as a seed

    Hi Edvard,

    Thank you for that information, your performed those steps correctly, the only other key you need to delete is the Policies Key (folder) in the left pane that is a sub-key (folder) of CurrentVersion in this other location:

    HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

    I do have Malwarebytes but i dont know of any cases where it has changed permissions
    I also have Teams where i logged in with my Course account, i did uncheck the mange device and clicked on the thing that said only login here so that it is only logged on on teams.

    Beyond that i do not know of anything else that could mess with the permissions.
    I did not have any issues like this when i was on windows 10

    Hi Edvard,

    Open the Settings App.

    Go to Accounts.

    Select Access Work or School, please provide a screenshot of that settings page.
