Windows 10: group policy error

I Setup a new PC for a friend on Saturday 28/11/15
Brand new desktop with Windows 10
Setup using a local Admin Account

2 days later - message appears on starting up (after the login prompt)

The the PC is slow to respond , would not open WLM or Chrome
And takes 10mins to shutdown

Choose to hold the Shift Key and restart - Then Contine
Which fixes the issue - for a few reboots !!!!

Windows 10 has also updated to 1511 Threshold 2
Still occurs

I have tried - and with MS Chat assistance - and all have failed

1) New profile
2) SFC /Scannow
3) Clean Boot

I then read about and was also advised by MS of a registry change for grpsvc
I notice the issue is that
Group Policy Client - does not have a status of "running"
I checked a couple of windows 10 PCs and they all have the Status "running" although none had the registry entries recommended and all have worked fine for months
However, MS - updated and changed the registry and now we have the status of "running"

next day it gave the message and problems returned
This time I notice that the GPC status is blank again

with a reboot using the shift key
fixes the issue and GPC is running again

I'm at a loss what to do next
MS have said its not a windows problem and refused to further assist - and advised to go back to the OEM
HP have said its a windows issue

I would love to fix for my friend
I'm thinking of just doing a factory reset - But I have read , this does not fix the issue - so could waste many hours

I just read this post
windows couldn't connect to group policy - Windows 10 Forums

Which I may try and see if there is a space - but I have checked the registry now and it is now setup as the various GPC articles
of course , if i do a clean factory reset - that will be removed

Thanks for any help / advice

:)

 

windows 10 cannot turn on Windows Defender

Error 'This app is turned off by group policy. Must be enabled in group policy. HOW?

 

Some settings are managed by your organization

Microsoft error messages are not famous for being helpful.

"Some settings are managed by your organization" means that the setting you want to change is managed by a group policy. Unless you are able to change the group policy, you won't be able to change the setting.

Group policies were designed for corporate networks, where the organization - more likely, its IT department - decides what the policies will be. That's the "organization" that the message refers to.

Since group policies were intended for corporate networks, there isn't a group policy editor in the Home version of Windows. It exists only in the Professional, Enterprise and (I believe) Education versions.

Some group policies can be changed without the group policy editor by directly editing the Windows registry, which is a risky thing to do. Plus, you'd have to know which specific policy needs to change and what are the specific edits to make to the registry.

 

Update


just found an article about google chrome causing an issue
https://productforums.google.com/for...me/qj07_IN4a7g


cleared the cache and reset the browser
When i went to About
Chrome tried to update and then failed and reported an error
So i uninstalled and re-installed - perhaps chrome is the issue ?


Waited 85mins and service was stopped


the service has stopped running - But chrome & Windows live mail worked - whereas earlier they would not
we closed chrome and reopened
and now the service is running again


and more importantly the PC is still running well


will be playing around again tonight / tomorrow
and keep you updated - Thanks

Seems to have resolved the issue - been working 17hrs now and machine has been rebooted and switche on off a few times
Been working now , with no issue, and chrome is now able to start the GPC service (dont know how - but thats the observation)
