How to enable service logon on Windows 10 Home?

I am currently trying to install Jenkins CI, in which I need to enable the service logon on an account present on my machine. However, the "tutorials" I followed ask for Windows software called "Local Group Policy Editor", the problem is, I don't have this software on my machine (apparently it was removed). Is there another way for me to enable Service Logon?

There is a Power Shell script for installing Group Policy Editor on Windows Home. Please review this article below:

• Adding GP Editor to Windows Home

• GPEdit Enabler script

  @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

  This is a simple PowerShell script that will install the disabled Group Policy feature in the Windows 10 Home edition:

  • Right-click the downloaded gpedit-enabler.bat, selecting Run as Administrator to start the installation process. It may take some time depending upon your system performance and once the process is complete, press any key to close the command prompt window.

A much better approach: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro (easy and simple) as you will then have all the Windows 10 Pro tools.
