"Some of these settings are hidden or managed by your organization"

Question

Hi, I'm on Windows 10. I have a homebuilt computer in which I got a free copy of Microsoft 10 software through my school Microsoft account. I never use that account and only use my personal Microsoft account. I have disconnected my school account from my PC and am pretty sure that my personal Microsoft account is the only thing on my PC. Swill when I try to change some settings like "Clipboard History" it says that "Some of these settings are hidden or managed by your organization." This is frustrating since I am the computer administrator and the organization should be my own personal Microsoft account. I have googled many different ways of trying to fix this and nothing has worked yet. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Hello,

This message usually appears when certain settings in Windows are controlled by Group Policy or registry settings.

You can open the Group Policy Editor:

• Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.
• Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.

Then navigate to User Configuration and Computer Configuration:

• User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System.
• Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System.

Find and check related policies:

• Find any policies related to Clipboard History or other settings you are trying to change.
• Set any related policies to "Not Configured".

Best Regards,
