Fix This Setting is Managed by Your Administrator in Windows Security

Here's how to Fix This Setting is Managed by Your Administrator in Windows Security.

I. If you are seeing the "This setting is managed by your administrator" message in Windows Security, it usually means that your computer is part of a network that is being managed by an IT department or administrator. This is common in workplaces or educational institutions.

II. If you are not part of a network and are seeing this message on a personal computer, it could indicate that there are some system settings that have been locked down by a virus or malware.

Here are a few steps you can take to fix this issue:

1. Check if you are logged in as an administrator: Make sure you are logged in as an administrator on your computer. If you are not, switch to an administrator account.

2. Run a malware scan: Perform a full system scan with your antivirus software to check for any malware or viruses that may be affecting your system.

3. Check group policy settings: Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box. Type gpedit.msc and press Enter. This will open the Group Policy Editor. In the left pane, navigate to Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Windows Security - App and Browser Isolation. Check if any policies are enabled here, and disable them if necessary.

4. Check Registry Editor settings: Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box. Type regedit and press Enter. This will open the Registry Editor. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Policy Manager\DisableAntiSpyware. Check if the value of this key is set to 1. If it is, change it to 0.

5. Reset Windows Security to default settings: Press the Windows key + I to open Settings. Click on Update & Security, then Windows Security. Click on the Settings cog wheel in the upper right corner of the screen, then click on Restore settings to their default values.

If none of the above steps solve the issue, you may need to contact your IT department or a professional technician for further assistance.
