hi, if you don't want others to change the settings on your windows computer then watch this video
Such changes may result in operating system failure or the installation of malicious software on the computer
This video will help you protect your computer
The first thing you should do is hide your Windows operating system storage partition
To do this, open the Run window and enter gpedit.msc
The settings in Local Group Policy will help you in this video
User Configuration
Administrator Templates
Windows Components
File Explorer
Hide these specified drives in My Computer
Enable
You can hide all partitions on your computer
But here I just hide the Windows operating system storage partition
Please restart your computer for the changes to take effect
If you don't want to restart the computer then you can use the command gpupdate /force to apply the changes
You will see the C partition will disappear
Here's a way to protect your operating system
There are a few more things I recommend you do to protect your Windows operating system in the next part of the video
You don't want others to uninstall software, change printer settings, change network settings
So what to do?
I recommend Prohibit access Control Panel and PC settings
You set that up in Local Group Policy
User configuration
Administrator templates
Control panel
Prohibit access Control Panel and PC settings
Enable
Next you apply the changes using the command as above
You are now banned from accessing Control Panel and PC settings
That way you won't be able to uninstall software installed on your computer or change settings
This is very useful with shared computers, because it will limit your frequent maintenance and repair work.
One more thing you should do is prevent others from installing more software on your computer
You continue to set that in local group policy
Computer configuration
Administrator templates
Windows components
Windows installer
Turn off Windows installer
Enable
Always
The above settings will not work if someone else has administrative rights to your Windows computer
So you set up a strong password for the admin account
Then you create a new shared account
Others will use this account to access and use the computer
With this shared account, you cannot install software on your computer, cannot access the operating system storage partition
and cannot change settings on your computer.
I will use the newly created account to access and use the Windows computer once it is set up
This is how I recommend you when sharing a computer with others
Or you set it up for computers in your organization or computers for public use
Unable to access computer settings
Unable to access control panel
Can't see the computer's C partition
And finally you can't install the software without the admin password
Do you have any more recommendations, leave a comment
