| If this setting is enabled, then Group Policy settings are not refreshed while a user is currently logged on. This could lead to instances when a user does not have the latest changes to a policy applied and is therefore operating in an insecure context. |

| The default behavior is for group policy to refresh in the back ground. If this needs to be corrected, configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> System >> Group Policy >> "Turn off background refresh of Group Policy" to "Not Configured". (Selecting "Disabled" results in the same outcome as "Not Configured", the registry value will not exist.) |
