    How to Manually Update Group Policy Settings in Windows 10

    Update Group Policy Settings in Windows 10 [​IMG]
    Information The Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that provides a single user interface through which all the the Computer Configuration and User Configuration settings of Local Group Policy objects can be managed.

    By default, computer and user Group Policy are updated in the background every 90 minutes, with a random offset of 0 to 30 minutes. In addition to background updates, Group Policy is always updated when the system starts.

    After you make changes to group policies, you may want the changes to be applied immediately without waiting on the default refresh interval above to do so.

    If you set group policies using Registry Editor on a local computer, then you may want to update group policy settings on the computer without having to restart the computer.

    This tutorial will show you how to manually force an update of computer and user Group Policy settings in Windows 10.

    You must be signed in as an administrator to update Group Policy settings.

    Note gpupdate command usage:

    Syntax: gpupdate [/Target:{Computer | User}] [/Force] [/Wait:<value>] [/Logoff] [/Boot] [/Sync]


    [table][tr][td]Parameter[/td] [td]Description[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]/Target:{Computer | User}[/td] [td]Specifies that only User or only Computer policy settings are updated. By default, both User and Computer policy settings are updated.[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]/Force[/td] [td]Reapplies all policy settings. By default, only policy settings that have changed are applied.[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]/Wait:{value}[/td] [td]Sets the number of seconds to wait for policy processing to finish. The default is 600 seconds. The value '0' means not to wait. The value '-1' means to wait indefinitely. When the time limit is exceeded, the command prompt returns, but policy processing continues.[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]/Logoff[/td] [td]Causes a logoff after the Group Policy settings are updated. This is required for those Group Policy client-side extensions that do not process policy on a background update cycle but do process policy when a user logs on. Examples include user-targeted Software Installation and Folder Redirection. This option has no effect if there are no extensions called that require a logoff.[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]/Boot[/td] [td]Causes a computer restart after the Group Policy settings are applied. This is required for those Group Policy client-side extensions that do not process policy on a background update cycle but do process policy at computer startup. Examples include computer-targeted Software Installation. This option has no effect if there are no extensions called that require a restart.[/td] [/tr] [tr][td]/Sync[/td] [td]Causes the next foreground policy application to be done synchronously. Foreground policy applications occur at computer start up and user logon. You can specify this for the user, computer or both using the /Target parameter. The /Force and /Wait parameters will be ignored if specified.[/td] [/tr] [/table]

    Creative X-Fi Soundcards and Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709 = Complete Disaster / Not Working

    Any Windows update breaks my Creative sound drivers. Best way for me is to disable it via group policy:

    • Go to Run –> gpedit.msc
    • In the Group Policy Editor, go to Computer Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> System –> Device Installation –> Device Installation Restrictions
    • In the right hand pane, select “Prevent installation of devices not described by other policy settings” and set it to Enabled.
    Once that's done, uninstall the driver Windows put in there and install the correct one.

    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.
