Ive recently had to search for this informtion and thought I would share the answer. Sorce - Enable Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) on Windows 10/11 Home Edition | Windows OS Hub (woshub.com) "It is likely that, according to the Microsoft logic, the home user doesn’t need to edit the local settings through the gpedit.msc GUI. Accordingly, users of the Windows 10 home editions have to make changes through the registry editor regedit.exe`, which is not so clear and more risky since it is possible to make a mistake and break the system.
Fortunately, Windows 10 Home has the undocumented option to install the gpedit.msc editor from the Windows image packages and manifests repository (\Windows\servicing\packages).
How to Enable the GPEdit.msc on Windows 10 and 11 Home?
To install the Local Group Policy Editor in Windows 10 Home edition, open a command prompt as administrator and run two one-line commands in sequence:
FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~*.mum") DO (DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F")FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~*.mum") DO (DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F")
Also these commands can be used to install gpedit.msc console in Windows 11 Home.
For convenience, you can save this code to a text file gpedit-install.bat and run it as administrator. Wait a while until DISM installs the packages from the Windows 10 component store.
In my case, the ClientTools and ClientExtensions packages were installed in Windows 10 Home:
Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~…~amd64~~….mum
Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~…~amd64~en-US~….mum
Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~…~amd64~~….mum
Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~…~amd64~en-US~….mum
Now try to run the gpedit.msc console. The Local Group Policy Editor interface should open (no reboot required). The GPO editor is fully functional even in the Home edition of Windows 10 or Windows 11, and contains all the necessary policy sections that are available in the Pro/Enterprise editions."

This doesn't resolve the issue in the latest release of Windows 11 Home. The scripts execute, and modules install, however, the msc is not available as a file, cannot be added via MMC, and copying the gpedit.msc file from a Windows 11 Pro computer resulted in a message from MMC stating that the snap-in could not be added. Oh well.
thank you very much my friend
