Win10 Settings Blocker

With version 1703, Windows 10 now features a new Group Policy that grants you control over various settings panels. The option that can come in handy for system administrators or users who share their computer, as it allows you to lock down those panels and prevent users from making modifications.

Win10 Settings Blocker is a portable tool that can come to the aid of administrators as it provides a simpler way to lock down various settings panels in Windows 10 with just one click.

Since the utility is portable, it means you do not have to bother with the installation or configuration. The interface consists of a single window with a drop-down menu where you can choose between four settings, namely the panels that you want to hide, show only, block and the disable blocking.

Functionality-wise, the application is user-friendly, so after you select whether you want to block, hide or make show-only, you can hit the plus button to add the panels. Again, this is a drop-down menu that lists all the available settings panels, so take the time to browse and select the ones you need. The final step entails that you hit the Save button located in the upper right.

Granted, the application can prove invaluable in a corporate environment because it ensures the end users do not mess around with the settings of the PC as they are set by the network administrator. Then again, it can also be helpful for regular people, especially if their friends and family constantly nag them to fix their computer.

Win10 Settings Blocker is an easy-to-use tool that can come in handy for anyone who needs to make sure that nobody changes the configuration for the PC they are sharing or that is used in a corporate environment.
