Windows 10: Group policy script on start up or shutdown

Hi, I have a bat script to disable Internet explorer, I have tested it and all works ok but now looking to deploy via a gpo, but not sure if I need to run in start up scrips or shutdown as the script needs a reboot to take affect?

GROUP POLICIES IN WINDOWS 10

You can change Group Policies by opening Group Policy Editor first. You can open it by following these steps:

• Log in an administrator account. If you are already logged in as an administrator, proceed to step 2.
  
• Press Windows + R to open Run.
• Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
  

After opening Group Policy Editor, you can now make the necessary changes that you want.

Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.

Regards.

 

Group Policy shutdown script no longer works after upgrade to Win10

I confirm this issue is real. It's happening to me too. I experimented and determined Group Policy shutdown script NOT being triggered when a SHUTDOWN is invoked. But the shutdown script IS being triggered when a REBOOT is invoked.

To reproduce this issue, simply do the following:

- Create a batch file in C:\temp\test.bat

- Put a single line in the batch file:

"echo %DATE% %TIME% I was here >> C:\temp\test.log"

- Save batch file.

- gpedit.msc

- Under Computer Configuration ==> Windows Settings ==> Scripts ==> Shutdown, add "C:\temp\test.bat" as a script to be triggered during shutdown.

- run gpupdate

- Reboot Windows. Notice the line logged in C:\temp\test.log.

- Shutdown Windows. Power on the PC. Notice there is no additional line logged in C:\temp\test.log.

And by the way, I've been working in SW Support and QA in Silicon Valley for years. These unhelpful answers by so called "Support Engineers" that give generic advice without any comprehension of the problem like telling customers to reinstall components,
check for patches, disconnect all external devices, etc, are a real big annoyance and only degrade the already abysmal reputation of Windows being an unstable buggy OS. These "Support Engineer" answers are only showing people that Microsoft has hired a bunch
of people who don't understand SW to support their product. Please stop them.
