Yep - If one's Windows 10 is heading for the toaster - Go to Security/Recovery and Advanced Startup. There will be options, Try System Restore first. I screwed up my different account settings big time not long ago. Lucky I remembered this as I was about to pack FRED off to a skilled tech and who knows bill would have been. There are other ways also but now forget. I believe every Windows user should know these tips. 👍 as usual

I have used gpedit for years, but it is so easy to get carried away with so many customizations and settings. This was one tool I used to eliminate Edge. I was afraid of creating a quagmire to which I couldn't keep track of. As a tip, I suggest backing up your registry first. A tough subject to understand. Thanx Mate 🤔👍

Thank you for making a video on Group Policy Settings. I would like to see policies related to the home user, specifically the policies that an user should set when they initially install Widows 11. I am especially interested with settings in regards to security and settings that will optimize the performance of the computerl..

@MrKentaroMotoPI Жыл бұрын

Group Policy comes from Windows NT (forgot which version, maybe 4.0 in 1996) which was the first Windows version where a computer could join, and be controlled by, a domain. Different policies can be rolled out to different machines and different users by the domain. That's why it has a Computer Configuration and User Configuration section. For a home machine, or any machine not in a domain, the interpretation is that "machine" applies to the machine state or behavior, and "user" applies to privileges of the users. Other than that confusion, Group Policy is fully functional and very useful on a home machine with a Pro Windows edition.

Good Information, I've always been afraid of group policy as I don't completely understand it, But now you have made it completely simple and easy. The registry Scares me a little too but you have plenty of videos on that too. I like these sort of behind the OS content that most people aren't aware of, Hopefully Microsoft leaves my control panel alone but wishful thinking lol . Thanks as always

@cmd_f5 Ай бұрын

Thanks for this. I recently started messing about with Group Policy to further tweak windows, esp stuff that's hidden from the end user in 11. I have a feeling it'll be important in the next few years to keep the new features MS insists on adding disabled. Lol. Also, it's just kinda fun. I'm a part time sysadmin and enjoy this kinda stuff

Hi, if you take these actions is there a bypass for the owner/administrator to use these features regardless of prevention of others. Eg: the flash drive disablement does it also bar the owner/administrator from using eg an external hard drive while barring others please? Thanks and Regards for this exciting information JB

@seediffusion Жыл бұрын

I recommend you do stuff like this through the MMC group policy snap-in. That way, you can filter your group policy object(s) down to a single user account, preventing you from locking yourself out of your system as many people have so foolishly done.

@cmd_f5 Ай бұрын

You could disable auto updates so Windows doesn't start downloading every update without you knowing, then nagging for a reboot. That's why I got started in GP anyways. For single acc machines where browsing the web and primarily local activities not requiring internet, I see no reason to get every update they put out.

@@franciscohorna5542 Well Francisco, there are hacks to enable Group Policy Editor in Home versions, but I can no longer recommend them. In newer versions of Windows 10 and, I think, all versions of Windows 11, setting group policy in a hacked Home version may not actually have effect, or revert at a later time. Your best options are to use the Registry, or upgrade to Pro. I recommend the latter. I used Brian's promo code at CDKeySales to buy a Windows 11 Pro key. A few minutes later, I was in business.
