Some of my GPO rules stopped working and I do not know why. I tried to google solution but without success.
I have some Workstations/PCs with Windows 10 in one subdomain and I need to manage them via this registry rules.


The problem is, that the my GPO rules are updating some items in registry in HKCU tree and it doesn't want to create items in HKCU.

But it looks, that the GPO's with registry items for HKLM tree still working. I made a little test. I created a GPO with new registry item for HKLM tree in registry, this one was created.


This is list of some HKCU registry items in which I need to create:

For sure I made same config for "User Configuration" and also "Computer Configuration" (I know, it's not necessary).


Description for each registry item:

  • Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MultitaskingView\AllUpView\Enabled=0 - Remove Task View Button from Context Menu and Taskbar
  • EnableDesktopModeAutoInvoke - Turn On Automatically Show Touch Keyboard when No Keyboard Attached.
  • HidePeopleBar - Disable People Bar on Taskbar.
  • ShowTaskViewButton - Hide Task View Button on Taskbar.
  • TaskbarGlomLevel - Never Combine Taskbar Buttons (Change Buttons on Main Taskbar).
  • MMTaskbarGlomLevel - Never Combine Taskbar Buttons (Change Buttons on Other Taskbars).
  • TipbandDesiredVisibility - Show Touch Keyboard Button on Taskbar.


On the Workstation I made "gpupdate /force /sync".

After reboot I made "gpresult /h c:\result.html" and there I found info, that the my GPO (Win_StartMenu_and_TaskBar) was applied. But, I expanded all records in result.html and there was no other info about what from my GPO was applied.



For sure I opened Regedit.exe on Workstation and there was nothing changed.

I made screen of some non changed registry items:




I tested it one two different PC's with same HW and SW.


Workstations and GPO rule are in the same OU. Workstaion user has a right to read GPO.




Please, have someone idea how fix this problem with apply change in HKCU Registry via GPO?
