In Windows 10 or Windows 11 we have a mechanism for managing users, applications and the system in general and we are talking about group policies, these are a set of options with which we can configure the environment of the computers and users according to local level, with them it is possible:
Group Policy Options
- Configure the operating system
- Install and update programs and applications
- Create restrictions to various system parameters
By default these directives cover all Windows users but it is possible to apply a configuration of the directives for only one user, this will help to have a more precise control without affecting all the users at a general level and for this we must make use of MMC..
MMC (Microsoft Management Console - Microsoft Administration Console), is an integrated system app with which we can access an environment that allows us to manage and administer functions and settings of the general system.
These MMC work under the container model of various Windows administration tools and add-ons, these are known as snap-ins and give the administrator simplicity to carry out tasks that allow you to control users and groups, manage security policies , access system performance, manage disks and volumes, and more..
TechnoWikis will teach you how to create this group policy for a single user.
