GPO computer settings not applying

I have a GPO with both user and computer settings in it. loop back is enabled so both parts should apply. The GPO is security filtered to ‘all staff’ and ‘domain computers’ because I don’t want domain admins being affected.
No WMI filter.
When i do GPO results for a member of staff on a computer that’s definitely part of the domain computers group only the user settings in the GPO apply, the computer settings do not.
ideas?

The GPO is linked to the OUs where the computer objects are located?

Loopback is not required if you want a single GPO applied to users and computers. Just link it to the OUs where the objects are in.

Loopback is need only if you want for example a user get different user GPO settings in case (s)he logs on to a computer in a different OU (i.e. Terminal Server)

yes the GPO is in the Terminal server OU, we want both the user and computer settings applied to all (RDP) logins on these Terminal servers.
Never tested this. I usually create two GPO objects, one for users and one for computers.
So I'd recommend copying the GPO and disable/remove the user part in one and the computer part in the other.
Check that your security filters are ok
