Yesterday I found that the WM_SETTINGCHANGE message is sent after a policy refresh to tell applications to detect the new policy. On Home editions Policy Plus uses its own POL-to-Registry applier rather than calling RefreshPolicyEx, so it didn't cause the message to be broadcast. That required Home users to logout/login or reboot after changing policies, which was unfortunate. As suggested by a user I made Policy Plus broadcast that message after applying the policy changes.
The change is live on GitHub.
