Hi Guys I have just got windows 10 and I am trying to activate the action centre but it seems I don't have gpedit.msc
, I upgraded from 8.1 .
Can someone help me with this please.
Donnylad.
Do you have Home or Pro version? Group policies are not supported in the Home version.
winver will tell you which version you have.
Hi navylcdr Thanks for the reply,,,,I have got the home edition , so can you tell me please what I can do about it.
Donnylad
upgrade to pro, gpedit has only been available to pro and enterprise ver since at least win 7
on a goggle search I see some workarounds for 7 and 8 perhaps one of those would work for you? I can't personally say and I have had pro for many years.
In order to get gpedit.msc you have to upgrade to Pro. Not sure why you need a group policy to activate Action Center:

Thanks Navylcdr I when I see that it brings back the charms I don't think I really want it so thanks again and bye for now and thanks to you Clintigm.

Did you try Windows key+A, that doesn't bring the charms back for me. I have them all turned off using Classic Shell
Thanks the windows+A works for me too just fine.

Installing gpedit.msc correctly
If you have 32-bit Windows (x86) then the setup should install smoothly without any problems and you should be able to access the Group Policy Editor through the Microsoft Management Console by going to Run –> gpedit.msc. But if you have 64-bit Windows (x64) then you will need some extra steps after running the installer. Follow the steps below after running the installer:
- Go to C:WindowsSysWOW64 folder
- Copy the following folders and files to C:WindowsSystem32
“GroupPolicy“, “GroupPolicyUsers” and gpedit.msc.- There is another file to use if you get "MMC could not create the snapin" error but i will post the link for the page with everything on it just in case.
