Windows 10: "Some settings are managed by your organization": MDM managing Windows settings as organization, but origin unknown

I keep getting this message "Some settings are managed by your organization" in my Windows settings. I am not domain joined and there are no provisioning packages. I want to get rid of the message and let me control my own computer again.

I recently found that most of the unchangeable settings are caused by a policy called Mobile Device Management, since this is what the Windows Update screen in the settings is telling me.

^{Set policies on your device}

The weird thing is that there is no school or other organization connected to my local Windows account at this moment. There used to be, but I already removed it a few months ago. Here are two screenshots of my school/work settings on my PC :

Settings -> Accounts -> Access work or school:

Settings -> Accounts -> Access work or school -> Add or remove a provisioning package:

I thought that it would be a provisioning package that would cause the settings being "managed by the organization", however there is no provisioning package, and no option to add one either (the plus icon is grayed out). The %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Provisioning folder is empty.

Does anyone have an idea how to get rid of this message and let me control my own computer again?

Note: I already tried the following:

Notice that for changing the diagnostics option in my settings, the option to send "Enhanced" diagnostics is grayed out. I can only send "Basic" diagnostics (currently selected). Changing this in the Group Policy editor does not change a thing.

Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it’s hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Ramhound – 2020-02-03T01:56:18.210

Question and especially screenshots are expected to be in English – Ramhound – 2020-02-03T01:56:58.233

@Ramhound I edited my question for clarity. I hope that it is clear now that the linked questions are not duplicates and that this is a new case. My Windows installation is in Dutch so it is not possible for me to give you English screenshots, but I added the location of the settings screen. – Victor Neverland – 2020-02-03T11:21:26.307

Try disconnecting your Microsoft account from the profile – Ramhound – 2020-02-03T12:38:38.330

I disconnected my Microsoft account yesterday, with no changes to this problem. – Victor Neverland – 2020-02-03T12:59:27.447

Have you used any application that claims to disable Windows 10 "spying" features? – Ramhound – 2020-02-03T13:14:07.463

I did use O&O shutup. I recently revoked all changes made by the application to the default Windows settings and restarted my pc, without any effect. – Victor Neverland – 2020-02-03T13:44:12.653

Those privacy hacks are known to make changes that cannot be reversed. Sadly, the only way I know to solve your problem at this point, is to perform an in-place upgrade to the same version you are already running. – Ramhound – 2020-02-03T15:28:30.137
