Back up and then try manually clearing the policies settings (and check
HKLM\Software\wow6432node\Policies for 32-bit policies, and also check
HKCU\Software\Policies and backup and clear them both). Restart and
check Settings then.

Interestingly, when I go into gpedit.msc and look under Administrative
Templates for either Computer or User config, nothing is configured.

The controlled by administrator message usually means that group policies
are set in my experience, but I’ve not heard of a machine being sold with
policies set.
Can you check the machines registry under HKLM/software/policies? If there
are any folders or keys under it, try using gpedit to clear out all
policies. I’m not sure if manually clearing the folder will work
permanently.

Yes, I'm using Win10 Pro. I use that on my laptops for bitlocker.
The Administrator account is disabled for security precautions. I can
re-enable it, but it's not enabled on my other Win10 Pro machines that I
use at home, and I have full access to everything.on those.

not
THE Administrator. I will assume you are running pro. So open computer
manager >> users .... enable and give a password to THE Administrator
which
is like a Super Administrator. Log in as the administrator or open
things
as The administrator and you can make the changes you wish.

Well, I am the system administrator, and I can't figure out how to undo
this. I did some googling and it seems that this is due to a group
policy
setting being enabled. Articles like this say you can fix it by
toggling
the windows diagnostics on or off, but it apparently doesn't work for
the
latest version of windows:

Any ideas, particularly from those of you who've managed enterprise
machines before?
