If you want to stop users from changing settings in Windows 10, this guide shows you how to block access to the Settings app and Control Panel.
In Windows 10, the Settings app, along with the Control Panel, lets you change a wide range of settings to customize your experience, and change system, network, account, and privacy settings.
However, if you're a network administrator for an organization, or you share your PC with other people, you know that letting non-technical users access settings will often result in misconfigurations.
If you don't want anyone altering the settings on your computer, in Windows 10 you can quickly prevent this by disabling access to the Settings app and the Control Panel using the Local Group Policy Editor and the Registry. This not only ensures your configurations will be preserved all the time, but it also helps stop users from modifying settings accidentally.
