Question Browser settings are managed by your organisation

[Priscus]

Can anyone tell me how come Chrome shuts me out of access to some settings with the above message? The PC is personal: no organisation ever has been involved in either hardware or software aspects of this PC.

(I know there is a Windows help page to get rid of this, but I ask about how it has occurred in the first place.)

Is this a new thing, or has it always done this?

Where did your Windows license come from, and what version is it?

 

[Priscus]

Not new. Once upon a time, it did not do this, but I cannot tell you when the change came about.

OS windows 10 ver. 22H2, this update by MS from earlier version and originally supplied direct from Microsoft when offered as free upgrade from Windows 8.1, which in turn was direct from MS. (Launch offer) Hardware is self build.

EDIT:
PS when OS installed, Microsoft, as result of a court ruling, was offering a 'Browser Choice' page. The origin of my version of Chrome was the link on the said page.

This phenomena is not present when I use alternative browsers.

Thanks. "No policies set" under all categories except, cookies blocked for URLs,& JavaScript blocked for URLs.

I am not particularly in need of correcting this, as I have a number of alternative browsers installed, and this machine is not my latest or most up to date, so as support for W10 ceases, I will remove windows and use the device purely as a Linux machine.

I am just curious, in relation to device security, how something like this can be changed without my consent.

it could have been set by an extension youre using
