Windows 10: Restrict normal user to format USB drive in WIndows 10

I want to restrict normal users to be able to format USB drive in Windows 10. I configure a local group policy as described in the following article to allow only administrators group to format drive.


https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/devices-allowed-to-format-and-eject-removable-media


By the way after perform testing, normal user (non-admin) is still able to format USB drive.

Is there any other step we need to do

Installing Windows 7 via USB flash drive!

USB drive doesnt show up, even after a format through windows (XP)

Any suggestions?

Step By Step from vista:
From admin cmd prompt

1a. list disk
2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
6. active
7. format fs=fat32

9. exit

Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

And that's it, boot off your usb disk
