Why gpedit.msc not there in Windows 10 Home?
I have to do something with group policies but when I hit Win+R and typed gpedit.msc it shows windows can't find gpedit.msc. I go through a solution but no luck https://answers.microsoft.com/en...

Windows 10 Home edition does not include the gpedit.msc (Group Policy Editor) feature. It is only available in Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions.
The workaround mentioned in the link you provided involves manually adding the Group Policy Editor to Windows 10 Home using third-party tools. However, this method is not officially supported by Microsoft and can potentially lead to system instabilities if not done correctly.
If you require the advanced features and customization options provided by the Group Policy Editor, the only supported solution is to upgrade your Windows 10 Home edition to Windows 10 Pro. This would require purchasing a valid license for Windows 10 Pro and performing an upgrade installation.
Before going ahead with any installation or modification, I recommend checking the official Microsoft documentation or contacting Microsoft support for the most accurate and reliable information.
