Description

Resolves an issue where computers do not retrieve Group Policy updates due to the following file being corrupted:
C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Registry.pol

This fixlet deletes Registry.pol and then runs gpupdate /force to update Group Policy.

By default this fixlet will remain open, reapply when relevant, and prompt the user to restart 4 hours after the action has finished.
