Hi Friends,

Getting Below Error While opening Local Group Policy. Please help.

The Group Policy security settings that apply to this machine could not be determined.
The error returned when trying to retrieve these settings from the local security database (%windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb) was: The parameter is incorrect.

All local security settings will be displayed, but no indication will be given as to whether or not a given security setting is defined by Group Policy.
Any local security setting modified through this User Interface may subsequently be overridden by domain-level policies.

Hi,

Please try to run the command below with administrators account to reset the permission of sdb. Note: you may lost all of yours local GPO settings. Please note down before resetting database.

secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose
