GPO not applying on Windows 10 machines

Today will be sharing details that you have applied Group policy but due to any reason you are not getting result. 

Issue : GPO not applying on Windows 10 machines.

Now there is workaround available to resolve this issue, as suggested on multiple forums we have to add following registry entries on client systems and as of now there is no hotfix available, as per those forum MS already confirmed that this is bug and suggested registry trick, after adding below reg entries the issue resolved.  

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkProvider\HardenedPaths /v ” \\*\SYSVOL” /d “RequireMutualAuthentication=0” /t REG_SZ 

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\NetworkProvider\HardenedPaths /v “

\\*\NETLOGON” /d “RequireMutualAuthentication=0” /t REG_SZ

As per MS this UNC Hardening is by default enabled in Win 10 systems, and we need to disable the same usingregistry
