"Some settings may be controlled by your organization".

[richbroome]

Hello, again.  I seem to get this message at the top of many pages and, it does seem like I am being controlled by some "Organization".   What on earth does it mean? Why has it appeared, stopping me from even setting default settings, repairing the drive (Troubleshooting), even  Feedback is stuck on the lowest setting. Plus, it's controlling other things.          The fact is I'm NOT a member/employee/etc of any organization, I've been retired for 6 years!    The whole thing is driving me nuts!  Could I ask anyone to help, please? (Not too tech).

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂 

As I understand you get the error - "Some settings may be controlled by your organization",

I'd like to thank you for the detailed description of your concern,

as you have ensured I don't have to ask any more questions, that said, this issue had the potential to drive me nuts, too...lucky for me, I went through this issue on my own PC and am thankful to have found a solution, it'll be my pleasure to share it with you and don't worry, it's not too techy (I hope, keep me posted if it is) 😉

• This is based on that in the privacy settings under "Settings" -> "Privacy" -> "Feedback & diagnostics" -> "Diagnostics and usage data" it is set to "Basic".
• Change it to "Enhanced" or higher, the message disappears.

Seems to be one of those known issues within windows, if the issue persists after the above steps, try this link: Click here
