Describe the Issue
CIS Rule 18.9.19.5 should be ensuring Group Policy background refreshes are not being disabled. The rule does not appear to be updating the right registry path and also the value appears wrong.

Expected Behavior
Group Policy background refreshes are not disabled.

Actual Behavior
No effect on Group Policy background refreshes being enabled or disabled.

Control(s) Affected
18.9.19.5

Environment (please complete the following information):
