Enabling the Group Policy Editor on Windows 10 Home

Enabling the Group Policy Editor on Windows 10 Home

On Windows 10 Home edition, there is no Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) and no Local Security Policy Editor (secpol.msc). These tools are reserved to Professional editions of Windows.

It is however possible to install them on Windows 10 Home if you need them.

Open a PowerShell window as administrator and run the following command:

Get-ChildItem @(
    "C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package*.mum",
    "C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package*.mum"
) | ForEach-Object { dism.exe /online /norestart /add-package:"$_" }
