Hello

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

This issue may occur due to a corrupted Group Policy Object (GPO) or a corrupted Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) installation. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

1. Run the System File Checker tool to check for and repair any corrupted system files. To do this, open Command Prompt as an administrator and type "sfc /scannow" and press Enter.
2. Uninstall and reinstall the Group Policy Management Console feature. To do this, open Server Manager, click on "Add roles and features", and then select "Group Policy Management" under the "Features" section.
3. If the issue persists, you can try restoring the GPO from a backup or creating a new GPO.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to contact Microsoft support for further assistance.

Best Regards,
