Hi

In all editions of Windows 8, there is the local group policy editor? If so, how do I find it?
Thanks

Bye

Group Policy is supported on Pro and Enterprise editions of Windows, not the standard edition. If that is what you have you are out of luck. Installing the gpedit.msc file will not help as the infrastructure to support it is not there.

Note that group policy is just applying registry values to a specific registry location in most scenarios (the Policy subkeys), so if you know the reg values, you can control your system the same way.

You can search group policy on Azure to figure out what reg entry/entries belong to specific group policies:
