OneDrive Sync Client Reset to block NGSC after each reboot

I'm having a problem with the registry setting to disable File Sync NGSC being reset on PCs after every boot. It's being changed back to 1 from a setting of 0 which will allow the NGSC to run.

 

The full setting is: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive\DisableFileSyncNGSC

 

Our SharePoint site is set to start the old client in the admin portal. I am able to load and launch the NGSC after setting the registry (above) back to 0 after reboot. I'm not finding anything that is setting this in the organizations GPOs. I'm just not sure why this is being reset each time - is the portal setting making this come back?

 

Additionally I'm not able to find a suitable GPO with any newer options to be able to force this globally to 0. We want to get over to the NGSC but this is keeping us from getting there.

 

I welcome any thought on this.

Rob
