How to Fix “The Group Policy Client Service failed the sign-in. The universal unique identifier (UUID) type is not supported.” Error in Windows 10
In order to fix the group policy service failed the logon issue, you will have to follow the step by step instructions shared below:
Step (1): First of all, open Run dialog box by pressing the combination of Windows + R keys together and then enter regedit in it to open the Registry Editor on your computer.
Step (2): Once the Windows Registry Editor is opened on your computer, you need to open the following registry key in the left panel:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\gpsvc
Step (3): Now, here you need to take the ownership of gpsvc registry key.
Although in Windows 10, you can take ownership of Registry keys without using third-party tools but if you want the one-click solution then try RegOwnershipEx.
Step (4): After taking ownership of the gpsvc key successfully, close Registry editor.
Step (5): Next, open Command Prompt with administrator privileges on your computer and enter the following command line then press Enter button:
reg add “HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\gpsvc” /v Type /t REG_DWORD /d 0x10 /f
Step (6): Once the command is executed, you will see a message saying “The operation completed successfully”.
If you receive the operation completed successfully message, it means you have forced the GPSVC to initiate a separate process from the starting rather than to act as only a shared process. Basically, this action will help GPSVC to make proper communication with Winlogon and “The Group Policy Client Service failed the sign-in. The universal unique identifier (UUID) type is not supported.” issue will be solved.
