How to See Applied Group Policies in Windows 10
GENERAL
The Local Group Policy Editor
It is possible to find which Local Group Policies are applied in Windows 10.
With the Local Group Policy Editor application, you can use it to see them quickly.
Group Policy is a way to configure computer and user settings for devices which are joined to Active Directory Domain Services (AD) as well as local user accounts.
It controls a wide range of options and can be used to enforce settings and change the defaults for applicable users. Local Group Policy is a basic version of
Group Policy for computers not included in a domain. The Local Group Policy settings are stored in the following folders:
C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy
&
C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicyUsers
If you are running a Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education edition, you can use the Local Group Policy Editor application to configure the options mentioned above.
The Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that provides a single user interface
through which all the the Computer Configuration and User Configuration settings of Local Group Policy objects can be managed.
The Local Group Policy Editor is only available in the Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions.
This Tip will show you how to see which Group Policy settings have been enabled and disabled from the Local Group Policy Editor on your Windows 10 PC.
NOTE: You must be signed in as an Administrator to see all applied group policies.
IMPORTANT: Very powerful tools here and not for the faint of heart. Proceed with caution.

3. To see all applied policies in the Computer Configuration section, go to:
On the LEFT pane, Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / All Settings
4. On the RIGHT pane, click on the STATE column title bar to sort policies by state.
Sort them in ASCENDING order. (there will be a small arrow pointing up above STATE) Any policies Enabled or Disabled on this computer will be in the list above the Not Configured options.
5. To see all applied User Configuration Policies, On the LEFT pane, go to
User Configuration / Administrative Templates / All Settings
6. On the RIGHT pane, Click on STATE column to sort these policies by STATE. (there will be a small arrow pointing up above STATE) Any policies enabled or disabled on this computer will be in the list above the Not Configured options.
7.You are done and may close screen to desktop.
OPTION TWO: To See Applied Group Policies in Resultant Set of Policy (rsop.msc)
1. Press [Win] + R keys together on your keyboard and type: rsop.msc press Enter.
2. The Resultant Set of Policy tool will start collecting the changes made to your computer.
3. On the RIGHT side In the the user interface of Resultant Set of Policy, you will see only Enabled and Disabled policy settings. In this example,
Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update
4. You are done and may close screen to desktop.
These are two very convienent methods to check the status and verify enabled and disabled individual user and group policies which have either been set
automatically by the system by default, or by the User and / or System Administrator manually.
It's also a nice aid for those of us who have made changes and have forgotten which one(s) have been modified and need to be reset.
