The document provides a solution for Windows Home edition users who need to access Group Policy settings (gpedit.msc), which is not available in their version. It suggests creating a CMD file with specific commands to enable Group Policy features by using the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool. Users can create the CMD file by editing a text file and changing its extension, then running it as an administrator.

Background#

Occasionally encounter some system configurations that require Group Policy, gpedit.msc, but the Home edition of Windows does not have this package.

Solution#

Create a new cmd file, edit - add the following content, and run as administrator by right-clicking
- Alternatively, you can create a new txt file, add the content, and then change the extension to cmd, which works the same way.

@echo off
pushd "%~dp0"
dir /b C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~3*.mum >List.txt
dir /b C:\Windows\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:"C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\%%i"
