How to fix the "Some settings are managed by your organization" message

Question

I get constantly the annoying message:

Some settings are managed by your organization

I have tried everything to remove it, for example:

Editing the gpedit.msc file
Running sc config commands
Trying to edit the registry manually from the command regedit

I am using a Windows 10 Enterprise x86 (32 bit), running the 1511 build: 10586.104.

How can I remove it?

This message means that you are in a company domain.

Administrators of your domain have automatically centralized the configuration of the machines in the domain by using GPO or GPP.

The goal can be :

to standardize the behavior of all the computers in the domain
to improve the security by disabling some functionalities not useful for work
...

If you need to access those options, you will have to ask your company IT service which manage the Active Directory rules to enable those options for you.

Solution:

Win+R

Type: regedit (press Enter) and Click Yes when prompted.

Goto:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SOFTWARE → POLICIES → MICROSOFT → WINDOWS → PERSONALIZATION

(if it doesn't exist, create it)

Inside PERSONALIZATION, create a New DWORD (32-bit Value) name it: NoLockScreen with a value of 0 (zero) hex.

If you already do have NoLockScreen and the value is 1 change te value to "0".
