hi gene,

to better assist you, please specify if have windows 10 home or pro.  group policy editor not available in home or starter edition of windows, windows xp, windows 7, windows 8.1 or windows 10.

in case have windows 10 pro edition, may follow steps below on how reset group policy objects using local group policy editor.

1. use windows key + r keyboard shortcut open run command.
2. enter gpedit.msc , click ok.
3. browse following path view settings:
   
   local computer policy > computer configuration > administrative templates > settings
   
   
4. on right side, make sure sort settings state to view ones enabled and disabled.
5. double-click each policy enabled and disabled and change state not configured.
6. click ok and repeat steps each policy.
   
   if have changed settings under user configuration, need go through same steps mentioned above, all settings use following path:
   
   local computer policy > user configuration > administrative templates > settings

let know how goes.
