GroupPolicy/Registry issue
Thank you for the suggestion. So I created a new OU, blocked all GPO inheritance and moved a test host into it. I deleted every key under Computer\HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy Objects
rebooted and logged in as a local user, to keep any domain user GPOs from being applied. When I opened registry editor, two new keys had been created. I rebooted again and after logging in and opening the registry, there were a total of 6 keys. I rebooted a third time and checked to find 8 keys there. A 4th reboot did not yield any new keys but I give it 30-60 minutes and see if there are any additional keys.
in that case, did you try rsop.msc to check if you have a local gpo on your local computer?
you can tell what is the key in the gpo ?
The only local policy assigned is to set chrome as the default browser, and a few chrome related settings.
Here is a screenshot the keys, there are now 40 of them
you have to see which GPO broke all policies.
if you use rsop.msc, do right clic on "computer configuration", properties, and check all the information and "error information"and you do the same on "user configuration"
Check which GPO still running locally and deactive everything who doesn't seems default GPO.
OR you can use gpresult /h gp.html.
AND thing still not working you have to debug the GPO.
