I need to update my password policy. To do this I need to open Local Security Policy.

My issue is, I am on Windows Home Edition and this isn't available on my computer. How can I sort this problem out?

    Hello,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    The Group Policy Editor gpedit.msc (Local Security Policy )is only available in Professional and Enterprise editions of the Windows 10 operating systems.
    The editor is not included in Windows 10 Home.

    You could use WinKey + R, then type in --> netplwiz

    Then uncheck "User must enter a user name and password to use this computer"
