Hello RonelAngeloArapeles-0251,

Thank you for posting in our Q&A forum.

Please troubleshoot the issue as below:

1. Check if one of the workstation you update the group policy is in the OU.
2. Check whether you set the user settings or computer settings.
3. Check whether you set security filtering or WMI filter on GPO.
4. How you check the workstation did not adopt the policy that you created.

Hope the information above is helpful.

Best Regards,
Daisy Zhou

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having issues related to GPO.

Please check is the Scope Tab on the Group Policy Object (GPO). If you are configuring a computer side setting, make sure the GPO is linked to the Organization Unit (OU) that contains the computer.

If the GPO configures a user side setting, it needs to be linked to the OU containing the correct user. Remember, GPOs cannot be linked to an OU that just contains security groups.

Also there can be different reasons for GPO not getting applied as per below article.
