Enabling Group Policy Editor on Home Editions of Windows [TIP]

This is once again a technical tip for those that want to be able to use group policy editing on windows home machines.  If you don't understand what was just said then no need to read anymore!



  • Admin command prompt
  • paste the following:

FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~*.mum") DO (
DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F"
)

  • paste the following:
FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~*.mum") DO (
DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F"
)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although I have never needed to, you may have to restart your computer in order to access the "gpedit.msc" from the run command.
That is all!
