Windows 10: Disaster recovery plan for our Windows 10 PCs which use Google credential provider for...

We have the following:-

1. G-Suite Basic edition.
2. 55 Windows 10 PCs.
3. We install the Google credential provider for windows inside the Windows 10 machines.
4. and we associate Google accounts with existing Windows profiles
5. so now users are login to their PCs using their google accounts.

Everything seems working well.. but i am afraid of the following scenario; let say for a reason or another the GCPW stop working, due to a windows update or an update inside the GCPW, and users are not able to access their PCs, then how we can have a disaster recovery policy to overcome this problem and have the users login to their PCs? For example, is there a way using windows 10 + G-suite to define a super user which can login to all the windows 10 PCs without using GCPW? so in this case we can have the ability to login to the windows 10 PCs and fix any issue..

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Google Chrome-Microsoft authentication API

Strange problem.

Scenario 1:

• PC 1 - Win 10 - Logged in with my windows account.
• try to check google chrome saved password.
• popup windows for Win credentials does not show the logged user.
• provided the correct credentials but I get the message "user name or password is incorrect"

Scenario 2:

• PC 2 - Win 10 - Logged in with my windows account.
• try to check google chrome saved password.
• popup windows for Win credentials show the logged user.
• provided the correct credentials I get the information required (google saved password)

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the recommendations re non-MS software.
