I had the same problem as Michael and when I checked the Group Policy, minedwas set as not configured. I enabled them and set them again as not configured. No go. I read about the entry from here: https://getadmx.com/?Category=Windows_10_2016&Policy=Microsoft.Policies.PowerShell::EnableTranscripting and realized that this of course, had a corresponding registry entry.

I took a look and low and behold, it was set to 1 in the registry but on the UI it says "not configured". Set it to 0 and it worked.
