Windows 10 Default Group Policy Restore

Based on the article at the bottom I am adding to my Journal a nice way to restore Windows 10 Pro to My Default Group Policy rules.

Recipe:

  • Download the GroupPolicy.7z  file
  • Backup your current system group policy folder:
    %systemroot%\System32\GroupPolicy
    Into a zip\tar\7z\other.
  • Delete all files in your destination system Group Policy folder:
    %systemroot%\System32\GroupPolicy\
  • Then extract the GroupPolicy.7z file content into the Group Policy folder:
    %systemroot%\System32\GroupPolicy
  • Start a command line(cmd) in administrative mode and run the command:
    gpupdate /force
    or restart/rebot your PC.

This helps to resolve some issues related to latest Microsoft Windows 10 Updates release.
