HI Shabarinath, thank you, I did try that, but the users are not getting the change, even thought I have run gpupdate /force on both the server and the client side.
But strangely, the domain controller is reflecting the change!
Can you please help or advise how to get this out to clients?

I note that the Group policy itself states: "Note: This setting only applies to Enterprise, Education, and Server SKUs."
Our users are using Windows 10 Pro, not enterprise.
And that might explain why it is working on the domain controller, as it is a Server SKU?
Experts Exchange is like having an extremely knowledgeable team sitting and waiting for your call. Couldn't do my job half as well as I do without it!

Hello - can anyone please confirm if this simple setting is really only available if users have Windows 10 Enterprise, and not if they are on Windows 10 Pro?

As far as I know, this image will get cached locally while applying for the first time. but needs to be tested to confirm.
Cheers !
