GPEDIT - Regional Options - User locale and Recently added apps options are bugged

I've set the User Locale in our Domain to Slovenian and while it does update the machines locale to Slovenian there seems to be an underlying bug, because machines still won't show the correct characters in some programs. I have to manually switch the system locale into a random region, restart, then switch back to Slovenian and restart again in order for everything to work correctly.

There seems to be a similar issue with "Recently added apps". If I enable it via group policies, it is shown as off in the Start settings menu, but it will still display the recently added programs. I have to remove the group policy and turn it off manually for it to work. (Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar > Recently added (Enabled)

Hello Adephx,

From your description, the issue may seem that there is some issue applying GPO settings to specific computers, not something isolated to some options. My recommendation would be:

a) Try to reset all policies applied to one of the affected computers by running the command below from a elevated command prompt, then run a GPUPDATE /FORCE to reapply the current policies

RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers" && RD /S /Q "%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicy"

b) If the issue persists, you can capture a RSOP by using the command GPRESULT /H OUTPUT.HTML .The output file will relate the policies associated and applied or denied as there may be a conflicting GPO.
