Windows 10: One Policy Overriding the other same type of policy

I have configured a policy on a user OU for blocking certain application say 'firefox'. Tested it, it was working fine. Then requirement came for blocking another application say 'chrome'. I created another similar policy to block 'chrome' and applied on the same OU. But when I see resultant set of policy, earlier blocked application was removed and only 'chrome' was present in the list of blocked applications. I was also able to run 'firefox' while I had blocked it using previous policy.

Kindly help me with the correct configuration of the policy. I am using 'Don't run specified Windows applications' settings. Does configuring multiple policies with same type of settings create problems?

You can change Group Policies by opening Group Policy Editor first. You can open it by following these steps:

• Log in an administrator account. If you are already logged in as an administrator, proceed to step 2.
  
• Press Windows + R to open Run.
• Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
  

After opening Group Policy Editor, you can now make the necessary changes that you want.

Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.
