    Win10 Settings Blocker v1.

    Sordum Team | November 10, 2018 | 12 Comments

    In Windows 10 Version 1703 , Microsoft has added a new Group Policy for the Windows 10 that gives you
    control over the various settings pages that appear in the Windows Settings app this Group Policy will come
    in very handy for many organizations and Home users. It would behoove systems administrators to lockdown
    unnecessary panes in addition to securing those panes which IT specifically wishes to keep out of the hands of
    end-users. This feature is particularly useful in a network environment, such as when configuring a kiosk or
    guest machine but there are many other scenarios where disabling the Settings app and the Control Panel will
    come in handy too. For example, if you’re the tech support person for your family and friends, and they keep
    calling you to reconfigure a feature over and over again. You can fix their computer once, and then block
    them access to change settings or if you share a device in the house with children, and you don’t want them
    messing around with the settings on Windows 10.

    If you don’t have Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) , you can lock down individual Settings panes through the
    Registry but it would be time consuming and , prone to human error. To stop users from changing settings in
    Windows 10 you can try our new portable freeware “Win10 Settings Blocker” Application.
