Group Client Policy Service Windows 10

I have been getting the following error on my laptop, "Failed to connect to a Windows service. Windows couldn't connect to the Group Policy Client service. This problem prevents standard users from signing in". There are several work arounds, bandaids and one or or two fixes. It seems that even Microsoft doesn't know what to do.

I tried most of these. I spent a great deal of time trying to even get my computer to function without freezing.

I was about to do a System Restore, when I ran across another option. The post said if you are using Google Chrome as your default browser, try uninstalling and reinstalling.

It Worked!! I did this three days ago and so far no problems! I hope this helps somebody!!!
