Local Group Policy
I have an issue with local group policies being applied and enforced. Not sure what their source is but if removed from local group policy editor and another policy with different settings are applied. The issue remains the same.

It sounds like you're dealing with a tricky Group Policy issue. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this problem:
Check for Conflicting Policies: Sometimes, multiple Group Policies can conflict with each other. Use the Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) tool or the Group Policy Results Wizard in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) to see which policies are being applied and if there are any conflicts.
Refresh Group Policy: Run the gpupdate /force command in the Command Prompt to force a refresh of the Group Policy settings. This can help apply the new settings and remove any lingering old ones. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/group-policy/applying-group-policy-troubleshooting-guidance
Event Viewer Logs: Check the Event Viewer for any Group Policy-related errors or warnings. Navigate to Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System and look for entries related to Group Policy. These logs can provide insights into what might be going wrong.
Check Policy Inheritance and Enforcement: Ensure that the policies are not being overridden by higher-level policies. Use the GPMC to check the Link Order and Enforcement settings.
Security Filtering and WMI Filtering: Verify that the correct security groups and WMI filters are applied to the policies. Incorrect filtering can prevent policies from being applied to the intended users or computers.
Local Group Policy Corruption: If the local Group Policy is corrupted, you might need to reset it. You can do this by deleting the Registry.pol files located in the C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy and C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicyUsers directories and then running gpupdate /force.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, you might want to consider using third-party Group Policy management tools, which can provide more advanced troubleshooting and reporting features.
