Ctrl-Alt-Del Change password missing in Windows 10
I disabled the Remove Change Password but the change password option is still not showing with Ctrl-Alt-Del.
How do I get it back?
I need it badly because there is a domain where I connect only via VPN and have no access to any servers except the DCs.
(Why must Microsoft make things more difficult instead of easier?)
My policy setting for this item is:
windows-10 passwords ctrl-alt-delete

Microsoft didn't remove it, an Administrator on your domain removed it, this option can be disabled at the group policy level.

My PC is not joined to any domain. I applied the policy using gpedit.msc (User Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Atrl+Alt+Del Options). It shows Disabled. Could there be another overriding policy somewhere else?

I just added an answer with two method from SevenForums.com but the GP settings should be set to either Enabled or Not Configured.... your problem is likely due to you having the option set to disabled as you commented above stating. If needed Download the registry file and apply it, reboot, and then test again. Be sure to reboot regardless after you make either change.

@OldGeezer - If you are not connected to a domain why did you mention the Domain Controller? I am honestly confused by the question, now that I read your comment to the answer you received, you specifically Disabled this policy but then switched it to Enabled.

It is a partner network I have to connect (to read their mail. I am given connectivity to their Exchange servers only, through VPN). In the past, I just pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del on my PC to change their password.

@OldGeezer Another suggestion would be to runSFC /SCANNOWfrom an elevated command prompt and just let that run, reboot and confirm afterwards if that fixes it. Not sure how you feel about upgrading Windows 10 to 1703 too but thought that'd be worth mentioning to you for your thoughts, Did you upgrade from a previous version of Windows to Windows 10 on this system? If so, what was the prior version before you upgraded if that's applicable rather than a fresh new Windows 10 install if you know what I mean?

Mine was a clean install from the ISO image downloaded from Microsoft. I usually let the upgrade perform according to Windows Updates. Will try SFC later.

Microsoft didn't remove it, an Administrator on your domain removed it, this option can be disabled at the group policy level.

My PC is not joined to any domain. I applied the policy using gpedit.msc (User Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Atrl+Alt+Del Options). It shows Disabled. Could there be another overriding policy somewhere else?

I just added an answer with two method from SevenForums.com but the GP settings should be set to either Enabled or Not Configured.... your problem is likely due to you having the option set to disabled as you commented above stating. If needed Download the registry file and apply it, reboot, and then test again. Be sure to reboot regardless after you make either change.

@OldGeezer - If you are not connected to a domain why did you mention the Domain Controller? I am honestly confused by the question, now that I read your comment to the answer you received, you specifically Disabled this policy but then switched it to Enabled.

It is a partner network I have to connect (to read their mail. I am given connectivity to their Exchange servers only, through VPN). In the past, I just pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del on my PC to change their password.
