I really think you should have posted whether running the Home or Pro version of Win10 and which Version & Build.

Maybe changed now, but there did not used to be a gpedit in Home versions
fwiw, the latest version is

Correct... At least, that is, unless you've taken some additional steps in your "Home" version, which according to the web-o-sphere, will allow you to run it on a home version.

IF this is, or was formerly a Domain joined computer, that may account for some missing components in the GPEdit(or).

Supposedly you can right click on administrative templates and choose the add and/remove templates option so that might be worth a try.

Hi DaveHC
When i try to rename that folder it says it is being used by another program and can't rename it.

You can get rid of the lock screen by editing the registry. Just a little ways down on the page. https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/windows-10-settings-to-change#s3

And I've installed the group policy editor on both my Home machines.

I was able to rename that folder in safe mode and that does get rid of the lock screen. Thank you.
