Windows 10: How do I propagate security settings across accounts on a device?

As the tile says.There doesn't seem to be a way to lock a device down when different users use it.How do I propagate settings across accounts on a device?Or better yet, override their lax settings when using my device?

Windows 10, Microsoft Account and Custom Password

I believe that you need to use a MS account to login which then propagates across all apps and devices. So I would suggest making the password complex and unique but something that you personally can remember.

Just a side thought - some ransomware has lists of lower complexity passwords, if you have an easy to remember password and get infected you might help it propagate with a simpler password. Just another piece of the security jigsaw!

 

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

This is not true, it depends how and when you used 2FA. I never get security tokens from Google, I just get an email notification asking if it was me with a button to click, and only if the IP / device used is not in the registered devices list on the account.

That said, if you get these kinds of messages, it means someone knows your password and you need to change that on ALL accounts you have, not just Google.
