Hello

I am trying to upgrade to windows 11 and is encountering the "Your Organisation Manages Updates on this PC" during the upgrade process.

,

I have checked that I am the administrator of this PC and I have used a lot of guides on the internet to fix this issue.

Note I have also made sure my PC is fully up to date and it is still not working.

Can anyone here help me please?

Thanks,

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Install and upgrade

    Also what is the purpose of running the commands in "policies_system_w11.reg"?

    By the way, to run the REG file, download it to your desktop and double-click it. Click Yes to confirm.

    Restart Windows.

    Hi Sumit,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I am not sure if I executed the command properly but I got an error message when I entered the commands. The error message was:

    Error: The system was unable to find the specified registry or key

    Error: Access is denied

    What does this mean?

    Best,
