FLeven and @bennn2806 : at what point does this happen? What are you doing when the error message appears?

It is a a problem with the GPOs on the local system, I managed to run "Compare to effective state" on a non domain joined machine, but it will not work on a domain joined machine in the "Computers" OU, where the Default Domain Policy is applied.
Also it will work if I choose a simple GPO without Sec or Autit policys.
I am using the "MSFT-Win10-WS-v1809-FINAL.PolicyRules" shipped with PA 4.
As you can see the effictive state of the Audit Policy entry's are empty, because it failed to compare them for whatever reason.
I did some cleanup of my local auditpols etc. but no dice.
FLeven Look in your user account's %TEMP% directory and see whether it leaves behind any temporary files. If so, what's in them?
- Empty, already checked the folder and tried to Grab the tmp File that will be created by PA when IT Starts to build the Policy File, but it IS only available for a second and I was not able to get a Copy of it.
I checked the 4 tmp files, but there is nothing special to find in them and I am not able to relate to the line mentioned in the error.
The files contain autditpol / secedit reports, a file with the two lines starting the reports and another file with some settings.
German special characters are not displayed well.
