Some Windows 10 (version 1511) users are facing trouble to change start settings. The option \"Show more tiles\" is grayed out and a message informs \"Some settings are managed by your Organization\". Here a few insights to solve the problem. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tenforums has an article<\/a> discussing these steps. But for some users these steps are not possible, because the option is grayed out. Here is a screenshot obtained from my German Windows 10 showing the locked option.<\/p>\n In Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise you can use Group Policy Editor to disable user changes in start layout. <\/p>\n 1. Run gpedit.msc <\/em>using administrative credentials (Run as administrator).<\/p>\n 2. Navigate to the following branches and set the Start Layout <\/em>policy. <\/em><\/p>\n Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar<\/p>\n or<\/p>\n User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar<\/p>\n Microsoft has a Technet article<\/a> discussing how to set start layout policy settings. If Start Layout <\/em>policy is set, the option \"Show more tiles\" is locked.<\/p>\n In Windows 10 Home isn't a Group Policy editor available, so admins can't set the restrictions mentioned above. Nevertheless, some users are facing a locked option \"Show more tiles\". I guess, some third party tools (tuning tools etc.) has set the related entries. <\/p>\n 1. To check it, fire up Registry editor regedit.exe <\/em>(run it with administrator privileges). <\/p>\n 2. Navigate to the following keys and check for the values mentioned below. <\/p>\n A machine wide policy may be found in Registry key:<\/p>\n HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Explorer<\/em><\/p>\n If a DWORD value LockedStartLayout <\/em>is present and set to 1, the policy is active. Delete the DWORD entry or set it's value to 0. Also delete the value StartLayoutFile<\/em>. <\/p>\n The policy may also be set user specific in the Registry key: <\/p>\n HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Explorer<\/em><\/p>\n But there is a small problem: If you launch regedit.exe via Run as administrator<\/em>, HKCU <\/em>shows the values for the admin account. So you need to navigate to the Registry branch:<\/p>\n HKEY_Current_User <\/em><\/p>\n and search the required user account sub-branch:<\/p>\n HKEY_Users\\xxxx\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Explorer<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n where xxx <\/em>is a placeholder for the accounts SID. Then delete the values LockedStartLayout a<\/em>nd StartLayoutFile. <\/em>Afterward the command:<\/p>\n gpupdate \/force <\/em><\/p>\n has to be executed in an administrative command prompt windows \u2013 or reboot Windows 10. Then the option \"Show more tiles\" should be unlocked and the message \"Some settings are managed by your Organization\" should be gone. <\/p>\n Similar articles:<\/strong> Some Windows 10 (version 1511) users are facing trouble to change start settings.
