Group Policy User Configurations not applying on Windows 10 - 1809

Having an odd issue. Upgrading a network to Windows 10 1809 from Windows 7 with brand new Group Policy Objects ready to go. I have one box already running Win10 1809 and Computer Configurations come down fine but User configurations, whether baked into the main GPO or in a separate GPO, just do not want to apply.

Both "Authenticated Users" and "Domain Computers" are added in security filtering with Read access and no WMI filters applied. The other odd thing is that locally on the Win10 box both Event Viewer and GPResult say both Computer and User configs applied successfully with no hint of any errors. I'm part of an Admin group on the domain and also added to the local admins.

Any thoughts on getting user configs to work? Rebooted countless times and even deleted the Group Policy folder under Regedit (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy) and rebooted/ran gpupdate to no avail.

    Fixed it....had to enable loopback processing. Didn't dawn on me.

    Thanks anyway, all.

    Hi,

    Do you mean all the user group policy can't be applied or only some specific policies?
    Where did you link the GPO , domain level or OU level,the users are contained in the OU,right?
    Based on my experience,to apply the policy to users, in the security filter, the authenticated users should have both the read permission and the apply group policy permission.

    Then the gpo should be linked to the OU that containing the user objects.
    The policy can't be applied if only have the read permission.
    Best Regards,
