Open Local Group Policy Editor in Windows (okay even in personal NOT in pro) with .bat -- batch

TODO

In this article, I will teach you how to:

Open Local Group Policy Editor

In Windows Pro 

It is simple in Windows pro (unless Windows 10 or 11), you just have to

Step 1: 

Click the shortcut Windows + R to open the Run shell (what is run shell? see my demo video). 

Step 2:

Then search gpedit.msc .

Type gpedit.msc in search bar, and click ok.

In Windows Personal

To do this in the Window personal version, you have to list the packages by running the following batch file with Administrator privilege (in Batch file section).

Step 1:

Type these commands and store it into a batch file (shown in the Batch file section).

Then execute it with Administrator privileges.

Step 2:

Follow the steps on the above section. (steps are in In Window Pro section.)

NOTICE

Notice that

The batch file must be executed with Administrator privilege, otherwise, it will fail.

Then after executing the batch file, it will generate a text file (default named List.txt).

It can't be deleted before the steps finished, otherwise, it may fail in consecutive steps (here, is step 2).

Don't execute step 2 until step 1 completes. 

(i.e. You must wait for the batch files completes running, then execute the step 2.)

Batch file

@echo off
pushd "%~dp0"
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~3*.mum >List.txt
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~3*.mum >>List.txt
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . List.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"
pause
