• 
  Type gpedit.msc and click Ok.(it will open Local Group policy editor)

  Select (dot) Not Configured or
  Disabled, click/tap on OK,

  When finished, you can close the Local Group Policy Editor if you like.
  

If the issue still persist you can follow method 2.

Method 2: Disable group policy from registry.

Hello Sam, *Smile

Your screenshot of the Local Group Policy Editor is normal when you have "Local Computer Policy" selected in the left pane.

You'll need to do the rest of the steps in Option One to see if you have any policies configured.

 

Copying Group Policy Object Editor - Non Administrators

I apologize for the confusion. To ensure that the Group Policy settings are applied correctly on the new machine when you open the .mmc file, you will need to perform the following steps:

Open the .mmc file that you want to transfer to the new machine.

Right-click on "Group Policy Object Editor" in the console tree and select "Add/Remove Snap-in".

Select "Group Policy Object Editor" from the list and click the "Add" button.

In the "Select Group Policy Object" dialog box, select "Local Computer" and click "Finish".

Click "Close" in the "Add/Remove Snap-in" dialog box.

In the console tree, expand "Local Computer Policy" and navigate to the settings that you want to configure.

Configure the settings as desired.

Save and close the .mmc file.

When you transfer the .mmc file to the new machine and open it, the Group Policy settings that you configured should be applied correctly.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
