Windows 10 Update *Some settings are managed by your organization while not apart of an organization

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you are seeing a message that some settings are managed by your organization. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.

1. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
2. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?

Refer the article Which version of Windows operating system am I running?

However, let’s try changing some settings and see if that helps.

Note: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

Refer the article How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

1. Press Windows key + R. This will open Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for ‘Run’
2. In Run dialog box, type ‘regedit’ and hit Enter.
3. In the navigation pane, locate and then select the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
4. Now click on PushNotifications key
5. On the right hand pane double-click on NoToastApplicationNotification DWORD file
6. Under Value Data change the value to 0
7. Restart the PC

In case you are not able to find the PushNotifications key, then follow the steps below.

1. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion right click on CurrentVersion, click on New, and then select Key.
2. Rename the key as PushNotifications
3. Now on the right hand pane right click on empty space and click on New and select DWORD (32-bit) Value
4. Rename the DWORD file as NoToastApplicationNotification
5. Double-click on the file and change the Value Data to 0
6. Restart the PC

I found what was causing it. I use an MSI motherboard, and they have their own control center and i remeber i ticked a setting that said auto update. Thats what was causing the issue. Nevertheless, thanks for the help! 

Hi! I'm having the same issue I was wondering which setting you had to tick to fix it? I have an MSI board with the control center as well. 

If you're using dragon center, under settings is an option that says "Auto update" or something like that. You must've ticked that, and that causes auto updates to turn off system wide. I couldn't care less about it, but it really triggered my OCD so I reinstalled Windows, and I'm pretty sure that's your only option.

If you do end up doing that, don't download that malware again. It EATS Ram and CPU and causes stupid things like this to happen. If you need to change the RGB on your board (assuming you do), use Mystic light 3.

Hi Prakhar_Khare,

 PushNotifications key is not found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

 Internet setting is the only available.

Any other suggestion?

I do the same as instructed but it seemed that the notification on that still exists. Help me to fix it. Thanks

Some of these settings are hidden or managed by your organization.  No matter what I do I cannot get rid of that error message.  I've done the regedit suggestions but can not get rid of it.

Greetings - if you will not find this setting:  PushNotifications key

As Prakhar mentions, you need to create it.  Note the word below "NEW"

1. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion right click on CurrentVersion, click on New, and then select Key.
2. Rename the key as PushNotifications
3. Now on the right hand pane right click on empty space and click on New and select DWORD (32-bit) Value
4. Rename the DWORD file as NoToastApplicationNotification
5. Double-click on the file and change the Value Data to 0
6. Restart the PC
