Google Chrome: This setting is enforced by your administrator
I found a better solution on the Chrome product forums by a user called Gary. The original thread is here.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy
Open each subdirectory there and change the *.pol
files to *.sav
, E.g. registry.pol
becomes registry.sav
.
Hit Windows-Key + R, type the following in the box and hit enter
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Chrome
In the command promt window that opens type: Yes and press Enter.
Restart Google Chrome and check whether you can change the search engine.
Any one on windows 10 Pro , this is for you guys --
- Open CMD in administrator mode .
Paste below code-
RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers" RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicy" gpupdate /force
After few seconds you will see this -
User Policy update has completed successfully. Computer Policy update has completed successfully.
Now you can change your search engine to whatever you want.
Thank you
