      We clearly state in this article that gpedit is NOT available in all editions of Windows. Please read our article carefully.

        Fix the headline/title. It is misleading. Its not the users fault you can’t fix your information. Good journalism makes information easier to read. The writer is responsible for what he writes, not what people read.

    I’m trying to turn my windows defender on on my windows 8.1
    I’ve looked for the gpedit.msc using all possible means, couldn’t find it.
    And the only way I can turn on the windows defender is via “group policy” which I’ve been trying very hard to find but haven’t.
