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).

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.

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

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.

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.

It was there on my 7 that I upgraded from.

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

Then it should be there now. How are you trying to start it?

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.

The potential offset is that if you've set it up on his account, and he uses another pc, then the restrictions should follow him around.

(This is not original to me: it was a "Teatime Teaser" on Countdown last week and I overheard it. But it was so good I couldn't resist it!)

Nope - unless there is a hole in the tube, of course...

I have it running on a 486 with 64 MB of RAM. OK, doesn't do USB, PnP and all that, but it runs. And, if memory serves me correct, only uses about 100 MB of disk space.
I just wonder where the hell we are gong with IT.
My company i7 with 3GB and win7 is now, probably due to a mixture of windows updates and McAfee, incapable of playing a vid on you tube (with both IE or Chrome) while running a VirtualBoxVM that uses half the PCs resources.
That's just pathetic.

They put men on the moon in the sixties using 48 KB
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

I've run Win10 on some pretty crappy systems and it's been great.

I am pretty convinced it is a piece of sh*t.

As an embedded guy I'm fairly certain anything that uses more than 640K is classed in your book as excessive, overblown tripe full of needless bells and whistles that interfere with the process of actually getting the job done.
You're a tough crowd.
