Hello Hacraft Craft, welcome to the Microsoft community.

Based on your feedback, you encountered error 87 when enabling gpedit.msc on your computer.

First, I'd like to confirm with you about the version of your computer because Windows 10 Home does not have this feature.

Therefore, I need to confirm with you, due to the design of the system itself, this feature can only be used in the Professional version.

If you are using the Professional version, you can try the following methods:

I suggest trying to reset the network:

Right-click on the Start menu ---- "Windows PowerShell (Administrator)", enter:

netsh winsock reset

Enter

netsh int ip reset

Enter

ipconfig /release

Enter

ipconfig /renew

Enter

ipconfig /flushdns

Enter

ipconfig /registerdns

Enter

Then press Win+R, enter inetcpl.cpl and then click on Advanced, restore the advanced settings.

Then right-click on the network connection icon, select "Open Network and Sharing Center".

Click on the network name currently connected, open the network status window, click on "Properties", double-click on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" in the network properties window.

Manually set the DNS server to "8.8.8.8" and "8.8.4.4", then click OK.

Then in the taskbar search box, type Internet to open Internet Options --- Advanced --- check the boxes for using TLS 1.0, using TLS 1.1, using TLS 1.2, using TLS 1.3 (experimental).

After completing the above steps, restart the device.

If the problem persists, you can try updating the network card driver, including wired, wireless, and Bluetooth drivers.

Hope the above information is helpful to you.
