* The Group Policy Editor is a useful tool that allows users to seamlessly

The Group Policy Editor (Gpedit) is a handy utility that incorporates a wide
variety of configuration settings (known as Group Policies) for Windows
platforms. But many users need to first enable or install local Group Policy
Editor in Windows 11.

The Group Policy Editor can be quite useful for users. You can configure Windows
11’s Start menu, taskbar, notification area, and login screen, among other UI
features, by adjusting their policy settings.

DOES WINDOWS 11 HAVE A GROUP POLICY EDITOR?

As was the case with the previous iterations, Windows 11 does have the Group
Policy Editor. However, it doesn’t come pre-installed on the Home edition of the
OS. To verify the installed edition, open System Information and check the OS
name.

In case you are running the Home edition of Windows 11/10, you will have to
manually enable the Group Policy Editor. And we have all the ways to do that.

HOW CAN I ENABLE LOCAL GROUP POLICY EDITOR ON WINDOWS 11?

In this article
* Does Windows 11 have a Group Policy Editor?
* How can I enable Local Group Policy Editor on Windows 11?
* 1. Enable Group Policy Editor with a batch file
* 2. Enable Group Policy Editor via the Command Prompt
* How do I open Group Policy Manager in Windows 11?

1. ENABLE GROUP POLICY EDITOR WITH A BATCH FILE

If you were wondering how to enable Group Policy Editor in Windows 11 Home,
running the batch file would do the trick.

1.To install gpedit.msc on Windows 11, press Windows + S to open
the Search menu, enter Notepad in the text field, and click on the relevant
result.

2. Copy this batch file code by selecting the text and pressing
the Ctrl + C hotkey:
@echo off
pushd "%~dp0"
dir /b
%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~3*.mum
>List.txt
dir /b
%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~3*.mum
>>List.txt
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . List.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart
/add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"
pause

3. Press the Ctrl + V keyboard shortcut to paste the copied batch file code
into Notepad.

4. Click on the File menu in the Notepad, and select the Save As option.
