This post is not about the Missing Group Policy Editor in the Home edition; it is about these areas that may be missing in the Group Policy of your system.

Group Policy settings missing

By default, all of the Group Policy related MMC snap-in DLLs can be found in %systemroot%\system32. To resolve this issue, you need to re-register the missing MMC snap-in DLL that implements the missing functionality. To do so open an elevated command prompt and execute the following command: Depending on which settings or folders are missing, replace with the following names: Administrative Templates and Scripts: gptext.dll Folder Redirection: fde.dll Internet Explorer Maintenance: ieaksie.dll IP Security: ipsecsnp.dll Public Key and Software Restriction: certmgr.dll Remote Installation Services: rigpsnap.dll Security: wsecedit.dll Software Installation: appmgr.dll Once done, restart Group Policy Editor and this should work.

Says Microsoft, However, sometimes even in Active Directory-based GPOs, some settings that should be there might go missing because the concerned DLL file may have got de-registered. Re-registering the DLLs as mentioned above is sure to help you. If it doesn’t, then you may need to use the DISM tool or use the Cloud Reset feature. Similar posts that may interest you:
