I have a Windows 10 Home edition, and I don't have gpedit.msc because this version doesn't have group policy. I read that you need that to disable the bothering reminding that my security settings are not good (just because I don't want to be asked a question every time that I decide to execute an *.exe file).

is there a way to circumnavigate this problem without have to install a Group Policy on the system? (I read that might get messy)

Thank you

  • You can consult the registry key at https://www.windows-security.org/c57498930096f5d5a5551f6ae32d39ca/prevent-fix-settings-functionality as well as follow the other steps at http://superuser.com/questions/972424/how-can-i-stop-windows-10-from-nagging-me-to-restore-internet-security-settings?rq=1 – Tamara Wijsman Jan 19 '17 at 15:56
  • There is no "Internet Explorer" folder in my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. I am looking for it but I am still not finding it. And as I said... Group Policy doesn't exist on my windows version. – Littlemad Jan 19 '17 at 16:01

    Absent folders need to be created; given the policy is not yet configured, the folder is absent – Tamara Wijsman Jan 19 '17 at 16:02
  • So you mean that I need to create that folder? and than create a file to disable the security setting? what are the steps? – Littlemad Jan 19 '17 at 16:03

    I've found an explanation with two possible solutions which includes steps at http://swimminginthought.com/disabling-internet-explorer-security-settings-check-solved/ – Tamara Wijsman Jan 19 '17 at 16:08
  • It give me an error when I created the *.reg file with the information inside. "Cannot import ... is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry files from within the registry..." etc... In the other method I do not know how create a folder file in the registry (I don't see any option that let me do so.) – Littlemad Jan 19 '17 at 16:16
  • Ok found a solution on how to fix that. http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/create-reg-file-for-registry-hacks As well one of the solution on the links where missing the "/" chars for defining folder. – Littlemad Jan 19 '17 at 16:25
  • To chime in, one of Super User's very best contributors has a great tutorial regarding how to install the `gpedit.msc` capability in Windows 10 Home: [Windows Starter Edition, Home and Home Premium do not include gpedit, how do I install it?](http://superuser.com/q/1018145/650163) – Run5k Jan 19 '17 at 17:32
  • @Run5k The problem is that you are not obtaining the Group Policy Editor from Microsoft, as well as that it could possibly be altered. – Tamara Wijsman Jan 19 '17 at 18:16
  • @TomWijsman , while those are certainly valid points this entire process has been very thoroughly vetted by DavidPostill and Moab. Needless to say, if you aren't comfortable with the limiting factors you don't need to utilize it, but it seems to be a viable option. – Run5k Jan 19 '17 at 18:30
  • Thorough automated analysis reveals no malicious behavior, of that we can be certain without manual vetting; this does not make this legal or compatible, just a word of warning – Tamara Wijsman Jan 20 '17 at 01:08
