Windows 10: Windows 10 1903 ignoring GroupPolicyRefreshTime

I noticed recently that in 1903 build 18362.356 (Professional) the system is ignoring a GPO policy: "Set Group Policy refresh interval for users". The default value is 90 minutes and it is what the Windows system incorrectly uses regardless of a setting in GPO that is supposed to change the behavior. I set it to 180 minutes, yet the refresh is happening every 90 minutes (give or take a few due to a default GroupPolicyRefreshTimeOffset = 30). I checked a registry setting on the workstation to make sure the value was applied there. This is what I have: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System, value of GroupPolicyRefreshTime is 180 decimal as expected. Windows 10 is ignoring it.

My question is why is it broken and how can I fix it? Thank you.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
