组策略(Group Policy)是一项Windows功能，可让网络管理员修改和更改某些高级Windows设置。不仅是网络计算机，本地组策略(Group Policy)也可用于更改独立 PC 上的高级设置。这是通过内置于Windows中的称为组策略编辑器的工具来实现的。但Windows 家庭版(Windows Home editions)不包括此GPEDIT.msc工具。您可以使用DISM 命令(DISM command)在Windows 11/10Home Edition上启用GPEDIT。或者您可以使用免费软件Policy Plus，您可以添加 本地组策略编辑器(Local Group Policy Editor)和编辑组策略对象(Group Policy Objects)。它允许您将本地组策略编辑器(Local Group Policy Editor)添加到Windows 11、Windows 10、Windows 8、Windows 7、家庭版(Home Editions)。
将组策略编辑器添加(Add Group Policy Editor)到Windows 11/10 主页(Home)
由于这是一项高级功能，Microsoft并未将其包含在Windows的(Windows)Home & Starter版本中。但在某些情况下，您可能希望从 Windows 家庭版修改Microsoft管理(Windows)控制台(Home Edition)((Microsoft Management Console) MMC )(MMC)中的策略设置。在任何此类情况下，您都需要使用第三方工具来执行此操作。在这篇文章中，我们将讨论一个名为“ Policy Plus ”的工具，它可以让您甚至从Windows 11/10/8/7家庭(Home)版中更改组策略(Group Policy)设置。

政策加审查
Policy Plus 是一个免费的开源工具，可以在Windows家庭(Home)版上编辑本地组策略对象(Local Group Policy Object)。但是您可能想知道，如果家庭(Home)版没有此功能，使用此工具是否合法？是的，该工具完全符合许可规定，您可以在不违反任何条款的情况下自由使用它。
(Edit Local Group Policy Objects)在Windows 11/10 家庭(Home)版中编辑本地组策略对象
如果您已经使用过组策略编辑器(Group Policy Editor)，您可能知道管理模板。这些模板实际上是该工具的基础。虽然家庭版(Home Edition)中提供了一些管理模板，但您需要从 Internet 下载其余的模板。Policy Plus 带有内置功能，可从Microsoft下载这些文件的最新包。您需要做的就是运行该工具，然后转到“帮助(All)”(Help)并选择“获取 AMDX 文件(Acquire AMDX Files)”。这将从Microsoft下载完整的策略定义集。
谈到 UI，它是专门设计的，牢记原始组策略编辑器(Group Policy Editor)。该界面与原始工具有很多相似之处，如果您熟悉组策略编辑器(Group Policy Editor)，您可能不会遇到任何问题。所有可用的策略都显示在左栏中。您可以浏览树并找到要编辑的合适条目。
该工具可以轻松查看和编辑本地 GPO、每用户 GPO、单个 POL 文件、脱机注册表用户配置单元和实时注册表中基于注册表的策略。(This tool can easily view and edit Registry-based policies in local GPOs, per-user GPOs, individual POL files, offline Registry user hives, and the live Registry.)
您还可以使用搜索功能来查找特定策略。您可以按 ID、注册表项或仅按文本进行搜索。编辑策略很简单，您需要单击打开策略并进行所需的更改。与本机组策略编辑器(Group Policy Editor)类似，Policy Plus还显示策略描述并允许您添加评论。
对组策略对象(Group Policy Object)进行更改后，您需要重新启动计算机以使更改生效。
简而言之，特点：(Features in a nutshell:)
- 在所有Windows(Windows)版本上运行和工作，而不仅仅是Pro和Enterprise
- 完全符合许可（即跨Windows安装不移植任何组件）
- 查看和编辑本地GPO(GPOs)、每用户GPO(GPOs)、单个POL文件、脱机注册表(Registry)用户配置单元和实时注册表中基于(Registry)注册表的策略(Registry)
- (Navigate)按 ID、文本或受影响的注册表(Registry)条目导航到策略
- 显示(Show)有关对象（策略、类别、产品）的其他技术信息
- 提供(Provide)方便的方式来共享和导入策略设置。
RefreshPolicyEx 功能不适用于家庭(RefreshPolicyEx)版(Home)，请重启电脑观察变化。此外，您可以创建和编辑每个用户的GPO(GPOs)，但它们的设置会被Windows忽略。因此，您需要自己编辑注册表才能进行这些更改。
总的来说，Policy Plus是一个很棒的工具。它几乎为Windows 11/10/8/7Home Editions带来了完整的本地组策略编辑器(Local Group Policy Editor)。您可以自由使用此工具，甚至可以从头开始编译源代码。该工具可能存在一些问题，因为它仍处于开发阶段，但您可以向其开发人员报告问题。

在Windows 11/10家庭(Home)版上启用GPEDIT.MSC
Microsoft还提供了一种未记录的方法来在Windows Home版本中启用(Windows Home)GPEDIT ，如下所示。
以管理员身份登录，保持连接到 Internet，然后在提升的命令提示符窗口中依次执行以下命令：
FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~*.mum") DO ( DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F" )
FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~*.mum") DO ( DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F" )
完成后重新启动计算机并查看。
重新启动时，您将能够打开组策略编辑器(Group Policy Editor)，但可能缺少一些管理模板。您可以手动下载和安装ADMX 文件；但是，请记住，家庭(Home)版并非所有功能都可用。Windows Home也不支持多个本地组策略(Multiple Local Group Policies)( MLGPO(MLGPOs) ) 。您还应该注意，Windows Home用户必须重新启动他们的计算机才能应用新设置。
提示(TIP)：这是install Hyper-V on Windows 11/10 Home方法。

How to add Group Policy Editor to Windows 11/10 Home Edition
Group Policy is a Windows feature that lets network administrators modify and change some of the advanced Windows settings. And not just network computers, local Group Policy can be used to change advanced settings on a standalone PC as well. And this is achieved by a tool built into Windows called Group Policy Editor. But Windows Home editions do not include this GPEDIT.msc tool. You can use a DISM command to enable GPEDIT on Windows 11/10 Home Edition. Or you can use freeware Policy Plus you add the Local Group Policy Editor & edit the Group Policy Objects. It lets you add the Local Group Policy Editor to Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Home Editions.
Add Group Policy Editor to Windows 11/10 Home
Since this was an advanced feature, Microsoft didn’t include it in the Home & Starter editions of Windows. But there might be some scenarios where you wish to modify policy settings in Microsoft Management Console (MMC) from a Home Edition of Windows. In any such cases, you will need to use a third-party tool to do that. In this post, we’ll talk about a tool called ‘Policy Plus’ that lets you make changes to the Group Policy settings even from the Home editions of Windows 11/10/8/7.

Policy Plus Review
Policy Plus is a free open source tool that makes it possible to edit Local Group Policy Object on a Home edition of Windows. But you may wonder if this feature was not available in Home edition, is it legal to use this tool? Yes, the tool is in complete compliance with licensing, and you are free to use it without violating any terms.
Edit Local Group Policy Objects in Windows 11/10 Home Edition
If you have already used Group Policy Editor, you might be aware of administrative templates. These templates are actually the basis of the tool. While some of the administrative templates are available in Home Edition, you need to download the rest of them from the internet. Policy Plus comes with inbuilt functionality to download the latest package of these files from Microsoft. All you need to do is run the tool and then go to ‘Help’ and select ‘Acquire AMDX Files’. This will download the full set of policy definitions from Microsoft.
Talking about the UI, it is specifically designed keeping in mind the original Group Policy Editor. The interface resembles a lot with the original tool, and you might not face any problems if you are familiar with Group Policy Editor. All the available policies are displayed in the left column. You can navigate through the tree and find a suitable entry that you want to edit.
This tool can easily view and edit Registry-based policies in local GPOs, per-user GPOs, individual POL files, offline Registry user hives, and the live Registry.
You can also use the search functionality to find a specific policy. You can search by ID, registry keys or simply by text. Editing a policy is as simple, you need to click open a policy and make the desired change. Similar to the native Group Policy Editor, Policy Plus also displays the policy description and lets you add comments.
Once you’ve made changes to a Group Policy Object, you need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
Features in a nutshell:
- Runs and works on all Windows editions, not just Pro and Enterprise
- Complies fully with licensing (i.e. transplant no components across Windows installations)
- View and edit Registry-based policies in local GPOs, per-user GPOs, individual POL files, offline Registry user hives, and the live Registry
- Navigate to policies by ID, text, or affected Registry entries
- Show additional technical information about objects (policies, categories, products)
- Provide convenient ways to share and import policy settings.
The RefreshPolicyEx function does not work on Home edition, so restart your computer to observe the changes. Also, you can create and edit per-user GPOs, but their settings are ignored by Windows. So, you need to edit the registry yourself for those changes to take place.
Overall, Policy Plus is a great tool. It almost brings a complete Local Group Policy Editor to Windows 11/10/8/7 Home Editions. You can use this tool freely and even compile the source from scratch. There might be some issues with the tool because it is still in the development stage, but you can report issues to its developers.
Visit Github to download Policy Plus for Windows.
Enable GPEDIT.MSC on Windows 11/10 Home Editions
Microsoft also offers an undocumented way to enable GPEDIT in Windows Home editions as follows.
Sign in as an administrator, stay connected to the internet and execute the following command one after the other in an elevated command prompt windows:
FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~*.mum") DO ( DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F" )
FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~*.mum") DO ( DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F" )
Once done restart your computer and see.
On the restart, you will be able to open the Group Policy Editor, but some administrative templates may be missing. You can manually download and install ADMX files; however, do remember that not all features are available on the Home edition. Multiple Local Group Policies (MLGPOs) are also not supported on Windows Home. You should also note that Windows Home users will have to necessarily restart their computer to apply new settings.
