Since TE doesn't have Win(7,8,10) home editions machines, adding TE-NeedsTriageFromMTV label for further triage

To test, please install Windows GPO on Windows 10 Home using the following script (bat). This will un-package the Windows Group Policy Editor on Windows 10 Home Edition:
@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

Hi, Couple of things here: - We don't support GPOs on Windows Home. Instead, you can push policies through the registry (Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\). These will be read by Chrome. More info here: https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3 - Note that since Windows Home cannot be joined to an Active Directory domain, some policies will not be picked up by Chrome. These are mentioned in the policy page with "This policy is not available on Windows instances that are not joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain." I hope that helps. Let me know otherwise.

Pushing the policies through the Windows Registry is still not working under Windows Home. For example: Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\URLWhitelist\1 = "universalremotes.net" allows any website. This was tested under HKCU and HKLM. We tested other Chrome policies too with no success. It appears Chrome is not reading this.
