GPResult /R Not Showing Computer Settings

If you do a gpresult /R, sometimes the computer settings don’t show in the results. This happens even if you’re logged on as an administrator of the computer.

Despite the fact you’re logged on as an administrator, gpresult /R not showing computer settings is permission related. We can prove this by doing gpresult /R /SCOPE COMPUTER, which will then say “Access Denied”.

To fix this permission issue, right click the icon to launch the command prompt and click “Run as administrator”. The gpresult /R command should then show the computer settings.
