How to fix the "Some settings are managed by your organization" message

I get constantly the annoying message:

Some settings are managed by your organization

I have tried everything to remove it, for example:

Editing the gpedit.msc file
Running sc config commands
Trying to edit the registry manually from the command regedit

I am using a Windows 10 Enterprise x86 (32 bit), running the 1511 build: 10586.104.

How can I remove it?

We arn't a traditional forum. Imagine this is jeopardy, and try framing your question as a question as you would ask someone else and posting an answer seperately. http://superuser.com/help/self-answer is an awesome starting point. I'm putting it on hold for now, but you really ought to flag for mod attention once you have this fixed up

Well I cannot answer or reply to other peoples questions so I made a question with how I solved the same problem so they can find it and fix it on their computers... This 10 reputation thing is not cool. If we have a solution, we should be able to jump right on and tell others how we solved the same issue they are having. – Random Username – 2016-02-22T14:54:36.537

@RandomUsername - You can post a question then post an answer. If you have submitted answers in the past, and have been bared from submitting answers, that something else entirely. – Ramhound – 2016-02-22T15:04:42.320

1Is your computer part of a domain? – Daniel B – 2016-02-22T20:53:24.893

Answers

This message means that you are in a company domain.

Administrators of your domain have automatically centralized the configuration of the machines in the domain by using GPO or GPP.

The goal can be :

to standardize the behavior of all the computers in the domain
to improve the security by disabling some functionalities not useful for work
...

If you need to access those options, you will have to ask your company IT service which manage the Active Directory rules to enable those options for you.

That is only one possibility. Group Policies can also be defined locally. – Daniel B – 2016-02-23T12:54:50.043

You are right. It can be set by launching secpol.msc – nex84 – 2016-02-23T13:02:00.853

Solution:

Win+R

Type: regedit (press Enter) and Click Yes when prompted.

Goto:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SOFTWARE → POLICIES → MICROSOFT → WINDOWS → PERSONALIZATION

(if it doesn't exist, create it)

Inside PERSONALIZATION, create a New DWORD (32-bit Value) name it: NoLockScreen with a value of 0 (zero) hex.

If you already do have NoLockScreen and the value is 1 change te value to "0".

He didn't indicate where the message appears, so a local solution isn't going to help. – Daniel B – 2016-02-22T20:54:21.960

@DanielB Added an image to show where the message appears. – jcbermu – 2016-02-23T10:10:22.650

? This is but one possibility. This message appears wherever Group Policies apply. That means it can appear almost anywhere in both the legacy and Metro control panels. Unless the OP himself adds more information, especially on domain membership, this question cannot be answered. – Daniel B – 2016-02-23T13:08:05.060
