Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro Block user access to settings

We are a small school with a number of laptops running Windows 10 Professional for Student use. Each of these Student Computers has an Admin User login and a Student User login. The Student User on each is a local account (i.e. not Administrator). Students borrow laptops during the day as needed and login as Student users using a generic password. They do not have the Admin user password. The computers are stored overnight in charging racks.

As an Admin, I want to set certain settings pertaining to the Student User account on each computer, then block the Student User from being able to make any changes to settings in the Control Panel.

Is there a way to make the settings changes I want for each Student user account, then be sure the Students will not be able to change the settings back again?

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

Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• Which option of the operating system are you exactly talking about (it will be easy for us to help you in resolving the issue quickly)?

You can give permission for accessing/denying the files/folders on a drive to a user profile by setting appropriate permissions on the operating system.

• 
  Press Window logo + E keys on the keyboard and click on
  This PC located on the right hand panel of the screen.
  
• 
  Open the drive where the application files are located.
  
• 
  Right click on the application file and select Properties.
  
• 
  Click on the Security tab of the window and click on the user profile name to deny access to under
  Group or user names.
  
• 
  Click on Edit button and give permissions accordingly to the user profile.

  Click on Apply and OK.

  Close the window and check if the changes are effective.
