It seems like such a simple question, but after hours of googling I can not find a way to correlate a GPO policy and a registry key that it would modify.
Does anyone have a way to decrypt them?

Nowadays most group policies are based on ADMX templates. Since they are XML files, you can see their content with a text editor and look at the registryKey
and registryValueName
attributes (the schema is documented here: ADMX Schema)
However, as the files can easily be parsed, we can find websites that did the job and provides that kind of information, for example: https://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/
Be aware that deploying Group Policies by manually editing registry keys is not supported and may lead to inconsistent behavior.
