Microsoft offers multiple editions of Windows 10 for different sets of customers. There is the Pro version for professionals, Home edition for basic users, Student edition for educational needs, and Enterprise edition for businesses. And the differentiating factor between all these editions is that some core system tools are available on some versions and removed from other builds. Similar is the case with Group Policy Editor.

Excellent, thank you so much. Works on Windows 11 home edition as well.
This crap didn’t work.
All it did was download this sh*t and now I can’t see the “edit group policy” option.
What a croc!
Thank you very much for helping other people, especially for free. It is trully a commendable act and there are no words for me to describe it. Have a fantastic day!
