Verify Settings with Group Policy Results Tool (GPResult.exe) in Windows 11/10

The Group Policy Results Tool or GPResult.exe is a command-line tool for IT  administrators that allows them to verify all the group policy settings in effect for a specific user or the whole system.

To find out which Group Policy restrictions or settings exist on your computer, open the Run box, type rsop.msc and hit Enter to open the RSoP Microsoft Management Console snap-in.

To see the policies applied to only your User Account, use gpresult /Scope User /v instead.

Since the tool throws up a lot of information you may want to export the data to a Notepad and then open it.

To do so, in the CMD window, first, type gpresult/z >settings.txt and hit Enter. Then type notepad settings.txt and hit Enter to open the Notepad.
