When I open group policy editor, began with build 10547 and is still happening with 10565.
If I click OK, it disappears, then pops up a second time, click OK again and it's gone, can do whatever editing I need to and the edits stick, so it does seem to have compromised the editor, just more of an annoyance .
I am trying to get hyper-v working but when I am trying to enable hyper v network switch on the network adapter im getting: ''blocked by group policy''. I upgraded windows 7 to window 10 yesterday and its my private computer.

Checked out this article, but was unable to rename the two files mentioned. I did delete them, however, and this removed the error message. What damage that did is ... to be discovered. ^_^ Files are in RECYCLE bin. [URL] ....
I have a gaming machine at home that was running W7. I upgraded to W10. It went from W7 Ultimate to W10 Pro, which is fine. Not long after that, I ran into some issues that I was unable to correct, sfc /scannow was failing, and I couldn't get DISM to read the source files correctly to execute a repair.Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
This was successful, and I thought I was on my merry way. Then after I was using it for a few minutes, it came up with a message that I didn't have an AV running. So, it pointed me to the AV control panel, but everything was greyed out. Then I went into update, and got the notorious "Some system settings are managed by your organization."I'm quite sure this is a group policy issue, but I'm confused as to why it just decided to clamp down on group policy when this machine isn't in a domain (it's in a workgroup). I then found some instructions that said to delete the GP directories and do "gpupdate /force". That didn't work either.
I have windows 10 now and my computer takes forever to go on my homepage. It says 'windows couldn't connect to group policy client services. prevents standard users from signing in'. It also takes a long time to sign out and google chrome takes forever to come up. Windows edge sometimes works a little faster. I wish I never accepted windows 10. My daughter moved away to university and I'll never be able to figure out how to fix this. I tried to use the windows 10 app 'contact support' but it didn't work.

I Setup a new PC for a friend on Saturday 28/11/15
Brand new desktop with Windows 10
Setup using a local Admin Account
2 days later - message appears on starting up (after the login prompt)
"Windows could not connect to the Group Policy Client service. This problem prevents standard users from logging on to the system."The the PC is slow to respond , would not open WLM or Chrome And takes 10mins to shutdown
Choose to hold the Shift Key and restart - Then Continue
Which fixes the issue - for a few reboots !!!!
Windows 10 has also updated to 1511 Threshold 2
Still occurs
I have tried - and with MS Chat assistance - and all have failed
1) New profile
2) SFC /Scannow
3) Clean Boot
I then read about and was also advised by MS of a registry change for grpsvc.I notice the issue is that Group Policy Client - does not have a status of "running".I checked a couple of windows 10 PCs and they all have the Status "running" although none had the registry entries recommended and all have worked fine for months.However, MS - updated and changed the registry and now we have the status of "running" next day it gave the message and problems returned This time I notice that the GPC status is blank again.Despite the registry changes - still having the issue - every day for 10days now with a reboot using the shift key fixes the issue and GPC is running again
I'm at a loss what to do next MS have said its not a windows problem and refused to further assist - and advised to go back to the OEM HP have said its a windows issue windows couldn't connect to group policy - Windows 10 Forums Which I may try and see if there is a space - but I have checked the registry now and it is now setup as the various GPC articles of course , if i do a clean factory reset - that will be removed
Since upgrading to Windows 10 a while back I receive the following message on start up:
Failed to connect to a Windows Service:
Windows couldn't connect to the Group Policy Client service. This problem prevents standard users from signing in.
Is this a major problem which I need to get rectified and if so how ?
I have windows 10 pro and I have edited the group policy for windows update and has set it to notify me to download. My problem is that after a few days windows automatically download updates and install them though I had set it to notify to download. It seems that the settings are not permanent and windows resets the group policy settings. How can i make the settings permanent?

Failed to connect to a Windows Service.Windows Couldn't connect to the Group Policy Client Service.This Problem Prevents Standard users from signing in.As an administrative user you can review.The Group Policy Client does not start,when I start the Laptop after shutting it down remove the power supply for some minutes, I have followed the instructions from the net from this video link to check if the following keys exists in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesgpsvc
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionSVCHOST
etsvcs
They both exists with the proper keys.Even windows 10 Inbuilt Mail, Google Chrome does not work.Other Browsers work properly.But if I restart the Laptop then everything starts to work properly.
I've attempted to turn off my windows defender via group policy editing, however; following the guide here on the forums (how to turn off defender) there is simply no folder/tree with windows defender in the group policy editor.
I have w10 pro and am able to successfully start gpedit.msc.
Why its missing? I really dislike the regedit way of disabling/enabling; and thus wish to use gpedit...
Not sure whether this is related to the recent upgrade (yesterday jan 28 2016), but I restarted my PC after after the upgrade, all was OK, I switched it off and went home. Today after I swithed my PC on the following appeared: "The Group Policy Client Service failed the sign-in. The universal unique identifier (UUID) type is not supported" Wow, this frightened me as hell. The logon screen reappeared and I managed to log-in on the second attempt.
View 3 RepliesI'm having the "Failed to connect to a Windows service. Windows couldn't connect to the Group Policy Client service. This problem prevents standard users from signing in" message in my laptop. It was updated from Windows 8 to 10 when we purchased it. At the beginning the laptop works well but now i'm having this message. I saw the a video and the GPC status is not running and in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CURRENT CONTROL/SERVICES/GPSVC in the Image Path is netsvcs instead gpsvdGroup.
The problem is that when i went to SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS NT/CURRENT VERSION/SVCHOST And then to the netsvcs I did'n t have to add it because it is already there, it was not missing. I verified Dword values and all of them have the same values as recommended in the video.
I am using the Group Policy Editor to disable Windows Mail and Windows Calendar.However, both programs are still available. Is the GP Editor completely worthless?
View 1 RepliesI have PhotoShop which runs fine under win10 bty BUT I really like the little Photos app for quick editing however. It doesn't work all the time.
The app itself never fails to launch but with about half of the pictures that I try to edit give me the error that says "Can't edit" YOU CAN SEE A SCREEN CAP OF THIS EXACT ERROR.
Now, I have checked permissions of the files and even with photos with identical sets some will edit with no issues and the others get that same exact error message!
I have done everything I can think of including uninstalling the Photos app and then reinstalling it from the store. DID not change anything.
Yes, all of the jpg default programs are set to the Photos app (triple checked all those).
Windows 10 downloaded and can't edit my current documents, why?
View 1 RepliesI downloaded Windows 10 manually using the official tool from Microsoft's website (MediaCreationTool). It installed ok but then once it finally booted thats when problems started.Windows 10 doesn't recognize my gpu (Asus GTX 960 Strix 2GB) and I cannot edit or open the control panel/settings application! This means I cannot edit any settings.Windows 10 looks like a brilliant OS but seems to be failing compared to Windows 7 (my old OS).
View 1 RepliesI have been working with windows 10 X64 PRO for a little bit now. I can still not figure out why my scripts (.vbs) or .exe that I push to or use on my domain machines will not edit or create keys in the registry. The only way i can do it is to full kill UAC then reboot then make changes then turn it back on then reboot again. Listed below our the UAC settings we have set for our select few windows 10 machines. We have UAC fully off in windows 7, but it is needed in windows 10 to have apps run.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem]
"ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000000
"ConsentPromptBehaviorUser"=dword:00000000
"EnableInstallerDetection"=dword:00000000
[Code] …..
What I need to do so i can make registry change on the fly. This going to be a big deal breaker for us to move to Windows 10 if i can not change values.

View 1 RepliesI don't know of any other software that can do this so I usually use Microsoft Paint to do this. Sometimes I want to edit out some information that are in the screenshots that I take. I don't know of any software that can securely blur out the information. I'm always afraid that someone can take the blurred images and then use some powerful software to unblur it. If I use Microsoft Paint's eraser feature, "erase" those information from the screenshot, and then save it as a new JPEG, will someone be able to recover the information that's been "erased" with Paint's eraser feature?
View 1 RepliesWhat i am trying to do is; like in IE, Firefox, Chrome etc. i want to change the new tab page behaviour to homepage. I created a page which supports me at home and work, especially a person who really dislike the favorites tab and found my solution in custom homepage (new tab page).
I know that, right now we can't edit the new tab page in Edge (to change into a custom one). There are 3 options to choose. But instead of this, maybe i can edit the registry input and change the blank page into my local page.
