Regarding the CHKDSK /F problem in Windows 10 discussed here as a Known Issue--

windows-10-update-kb4592438

--unless I'm completely missing it (or it's since been added), there is nothing that tells me WHICH Group Policy to enable for managed systems. Only a couple of links about what Group Policy is and how to use it. (I learned all that 20 years ago!)

All it says is, "For enterprise-managed devices that have installed this update and encountered this issue, it can be resolved by installing and configuring a special Group Policy. To find out more about using Group Policies, see Group Policy Overview."

Does anyone know what Group Policy they're advising us to deploy?

    Thanks; I could've sworn when I clicked that before it took me to generic info about Group Policy.

    I suppose it's possible the MSI sets a registry entry in the Policies branch, thereby making it a "special Group Policy".

    A little more specific deployment information from MS would be useful. Evidently, we push it as a Startup Script with a WMI filter for v2004 & v20H2, or via Computer/Preferences/Scheduled Tasks with ILT for the same versions.
