Windows 10 Home doesn´t have gpedit?! Is there anything about windows 10 that is isn't a steamy pile? I'm dual booting a few year old Asus G70...its stupid how much faster Linux Mint is. Grumble Grumble. EDIT: Since this is apparently not 10 specific, ill just complain about the reason i needed it in the first place. It is apparently the easiest way to disable windows defender from eating 70% CPU when its not actually doing a scan. This thing obviously just needs trashed.

It's a restriction of the Home edition (and has been since 8 or 8.1, I think). Have a look here: gpedit - Google Search[^] But as several of them recommend: take a good system image first (I use AOMEI Backuper - the free edition works very well).
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Group policy on Home edition? It wasn't there for Win 7/8 too...
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I saw all of that, I just find it completely ridiculous. I didn't know it was also a limitation on 8, i never used it enough to notice.

It was there on my 7 that I upgraded from.

I guess they have to take something out to make the "Home" edition less attractive than "Pro" and justify the additional cost! :laugh:

A Home edition? It must have been a manual install... Starter, Home (Basic and Professional) came without it originally...

I wish Asus would have offered the pro/ultimate/whatever version on their gaming series at the time. Do not know if thats still the case.

I'm banging my head against the whole linkage to a Microsoft account on 10. I had a time setting up a local machine account for my 4-year-old, MS really wants you to register with them. If I want to use the MS net-nazi tool (and I did) I couldn't find a way to do it without him having a linked MS one, which also necessitates an e-mail address - exposing the bairn to yet more potential nasties. All I want to do is restrict no. 1 son's login on my machine so he doesn't see anything inappropriate. I've found a 3rd party solution - but MS's strategy seems nuts to me, all so they can register more details.
