Extra registry settings. Display names for some settings cannot be found. This is something that you''''ll see in the report of your GPO when an upgrade of the Policy Definitions was made or some other reasons.

 

You cannot delete those settings simply editing GPO. You need to do some powershell scripting.

 

Real example after upgrading Google Chrome Template, there is an error in a GPO called "13 Google Chrome":

 

Extra Registry Settings

Display names for some settings cannot be found. You might be able to resolve this issue by updating the .ADM files used by Group Policy Management.

Setting                   State 
Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\AlwaysAuthorizePlugins            0 

 

Open powershell and run:

 

import-module -name GroupPolicy

Remove-GPRegistryValue -Name "13 Google Chrome" -Key "HKLM\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome" -ValueName "AlwaysAuthorizePlugins"

 

That HKLM (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) can be of course HKCU (HKEY_CURRENT_USER), you should choose this depending of your GPO.
