Windows 10: Disable Registry and GPEdit.msc on a standard account

Hi, is there a way I can disable the registry access and GPEdit.msc on the standard account?

:)

 

How to disable Start-up apps notifications

I have made the built-in administrative account active by using the net user command

net user administrator /active:yes

Once the account was active, I logged in the administrator account. The option for start-up apps was still greyed out like in the picture I posted in my question.

I have looked in Group policy (gpedit.msc) and found no reference to this setting as well,

Hopefully this is a registry option you can provide me to disable this option.

Thanks.

 

hello enable your microsoft account

I got mine working by doing the following:

Please open this group policy by launching gpedit.msc:

Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Accounts: Block Microsoft Accounts

Make sure that setting set to "This policy is disabled."

And then navigate to this registry entry:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\StoredIdentities

Here check if there is the account that is giving you trouble. Delete (Right click the email address and click delete).

IMPORTANT: REBOOT

After that, add again to check the result.

 

The standard account cannot access the registry* or group policy without admin permissions. You still want to disable them anyway?

*noticed I can delete (some) HKEY current user keys in registry with standard user, but not local machine... interesting

Group Policy remains inaccessible w/out Admin

 

Yes, I just noticed that as well while doing some trial and error.

I guess that is fine, no need of changes there.


Thank you for the support and quick reply.

Concerning the registry. A standard user can only modify their own registry hive. They can only damage their own account. And if they do that you simply delete there account files and have them log back in and rebuild the profile.

No damage to the system or other users.

Nothing you need to be concerned about.
