    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out.

    1. Please the registry.pol file exists in the location and has the same permissions as the gpt.ini file in the same Group Policy object (GPO).
    2. Ensure Sysvol replication is working properly on domain controllers.
    3. Delete the GPO and recreate it and verify it is applied to correct OU or correct security group.
    4. repadmin /showrepl * /csv >showrepl.csv

    If above steps does not work then follow below steps.

    check the last modified date of the following file:

    C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\ Registry.pol

    (Note: Group Policy is a hidden folder, you may need to enable hidden folders to navigate to this path)

    Most of the last update date will be a long time ago (or at least earlier than “today”). If this is the case, delete the file REGISTRY.POL, file and run “gpupdate /force” from a Command Prompt.
