Group Policy Keeps Reverting? Resolve It Now!

This MiniTool guide explains how to fix the persistent "Group Policy keeps reverting" problem in Windows 10/11. If your Group Policy settings repeatedly revert to default after restarting, these solutions can help.

The Problem: Many users report Group Policy changes being undone after a reboot. This often stems from a corrupted user profile, misconfigured Group Policy, insufficient permissions, or other issues.

Solutions: Try these fixes sequentially until the problem is resolved.

Fix 1: Verify Group Policy Client Service

The Group Policy Client service applies administrator-defined settings. If this service isn't running correctly, settings won't be applied.

1. Search for "services" in the Windows search bar and open the Services app.
2. Locate and double-click "Group Policy Client."
3. Ensure the "Startup type" is set to "Automatic."

Fix 2: Clean Boot Windows

Conflicting third-party apps or services might hinder Group Policy changes. A clean boot minimizes interference.

1. Press Windows R, type msconfig, and press Enter.
2. On the "Services" tab, select "Hide all Microsoft services" and click "Disable all."

3. Go to the "Startup" tab, click "Open Task Manager," and disable any potentially conflicting programs.
4. Restart your computer and attempt Group Policy modifications.

Fix 3: Create a New User Account

A corrupted user profile can cause this issue. Create a new user account and test Group Policy changes there. If the problem disappears, the user profile was the culprit. (See MiniTool's guides on adding/removing users and creating administrator accounts for Windows 11/10).

Fix 4: Reset Group Policy Settings

Incorrect Group Policy settings might be the root cause. Resetting them can resolve the issue.

1. Search for "cmd" and select "Run as administrator."

2. Execute these commands (press Enter after each):

   • RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers" && RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicy"
   • gpupdate /force

3. Restart your PC.

Conclusion: To fix the "Group Policy keeps reverting" error, ensure the Group Policy Client service is running, perform a clean boot, create a new user account if necessary, and finally, reset Group Policy settings.
