Are you using Win 10 PRO? This will make it easier to access some settings. By default you are <A> user with administrator privileges... not THE Administrator. I will assume you are running pro. So open computer manager >> users .... enable and give a password to THE Administrator which is like a Super Administrator. Log in as the administrator or open things as The administrator and you can make the changes you wish.

Just ordered a new Lenovo laptop with Win10Pro on it and it's a great machine, with one problem. I'm not able to access a lot of the admin type stuff (add/remove programs, bitlocker, windows updates, etc). They're either not there, or have a message that says "some settings are managed by your system administrator". Well, I am the system administrator, and I can't figure out how to undo this. I did some googling and it seems that this is due to a group policy setting being enabled. Articles like this say you can fix it by toggling the windows diagnostics on or off, but it apparently doesn't work for the latest version of windows: https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/solved-how-to-fix-some-settings-are-managed-by-your-organization-error-on-windows-10/ Any ideas, particularly from those of you who've managed enterprise machines before? --------- Brian
