Some of these settings are hidden or managed by your organization message showing on Privacy Settings page

Instructions for installing gpedit.msc are here: https://techcult.com/install-group-policy-editor-windows-10/

I finally resolved the problem I was having today, involving using the Local Group Policy Editor.  As far as I understand, this is available on Windows 10 Pro, not the Home edition.  Hopefully this will help a few of you.

• Press Windows key + R to open the 'Run' window.  Type gpedit.msc and press enter.
• Under Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, then expand Windows Components.
• Click on App Privacy.  Double-click on the relevant issue, e,g,. if you cannot use your webcam, double-click on 'Let Windows apps access the camera'.
• On the left under Options, there should be a 'Default for all apps' setting.  In my case this was set to 'Force Deny'.  Change this to 'User is in control', then click OK at the bottom.
• Click on the Start button, click Settings, then click Privacy.  Hopefully the relevant permission button is no longer greyed out.

You are correct.  The group policy editor is not available in the Home version. 

Pro users has other tools as well to fix this. Like system center.

Home users can reset policies by using powershell commands. Pro users can do this as well.

The group policy editor is just a tool that uses the cmd/powershell commands. (Why those tools are not in win 10, I dont understand)
Microsoft released 2 days ago problems in 20H2 with exectly this.

Resetting the PC does work. But only because you reset your policies with that. Thats like buying a new car when you get a flat tire ;).

Here is how you fix the problem of "managed" when your PC IS NOT MANAGED!!! (Some are).

1. Open a powershell or cmd windows (With Admin rights)How to open a cmd or powershell windows.- Click start - Find Windows Powershell folder in the application tree.

• RIGHT CLICK on the Windows powershell that only say powershell (Not Powershell ISE, x86).
  2. Choose open with admin rights.

3. Copy all these commands. And paste them into the powershell

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost" /f

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsStore\WindowsUpdate" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsStore\WindowsUpdate" /f

4. Reboot your system. <---skip this and it does not work

Check the setting that had "managed by" in yellow text. If its gone = fixed and its policies you change with a tool that creates a registry mix that Microsoft yet have to fix.

If you are still "managed", then I suggest Malware removal operation. Then contact Microsoft support. They will help you.

It helped to change some settings but the message is still there. WIndows 11 upgrade tool still reports that the PC is being managed and will therefore not execute the upgrade check. Instead asking me to contact my IT-administrator.

I tried entering the commands into Powershell and rebooting, but I was still seeing that pesky message preventing me from altering options in my Privacy settings. I then ran the Malicious Software Removal Tool for Windows, but it returned 0 infected files. So I'm unsure what's going on with my system that's different. I don't think my computer is a refurbished company computer, as I bought it new.

Alright, I've actually seen this too.

Do you have win 10?

If, yes, have you used windows update?

If yes, please update again and click the 4 boxes what to update

If you have the latest win 10 version (or at least 2004), then run these powershell commands

/SFC SCANNOW

Sfc scannow is THE ONLY powershell command which is 100% safe to use. No matter what your computer or issue is, this command only repairs the windows system files. It does not do anything that can break anything. It can be interupted without causing issues.

Please note, powershell is NOT a fixing tool for users! It is a command tool for system admin, applications designers and security pros.
(And hackers, like myself)

Windows 10 fixes itself normally, so do not use powershell, unless you know exactly what you are doing.

Your issue is a very good example when powershell can help you.
DONT use these commands unless you trust the person telling you.

When complete, run:

Dism /online /Get-CurrentEdition

If it returns "Core", your fine, next

Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore

LET THIS FINISH. It can look like its stuck on 10-20%. It isnt. This may take 30 seconds or 30 mins. Both are normal.

Then run:

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

This command cleans out drivers and updates that been waiting in the library que and become superseeded (not needed). This command also let windows use the new drivers which are installed, but might wait for the right to be used.

DONT USE THIS COMMAND UNLESS YOU ARE ASKED TO (I am not a microsoft employee, nor do I work for microsoft support. I am a user, like you)

When complete, reboot.

The componentcleanup SHOULD stop on 10-20% for 10 mins at least, if there are stuff to clean out.
DONT interupt it, or you mess up your registry

Run this:

Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth

This command is also quite harmless and only restores missing system files if needed. It doesnt repair anything, even if it says so.

Do you still have the annoying yellow text? If so, are you sure your windows version isnt a company one?

Company win 10 licenses ARE managed and should have the text.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
At last, you let me get rid of that horrible 'managed' issue.

Thank yu,

You are most welcome.
