  1. 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?

    :)

    GROUP POLICIES IN WINDOWS 10

    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.

    Regards.
