    Windows 11 - Local Group Policy Editor - Device Installation Missing


    Hello,I'm trying to disable my built in laptop keyboard on Windows 11 and use an external one instead. I was told to go to "local group policy editor" and then to "system" and then eventually "device installation" and eventually to restrict windows from auto-installing the device driver. However as you can see from the screenshot below, the folder device installation is missing. How do I stop windows from auto installing drivers for my built in keyboard so that I may remove the driver in device manager?ThanksJohn

    :)

    group policy editor

    Hi Tony,

    Group Policy Editor in Windows is a tool to help you manage policy settings. Here's how you can access the Local Group Policy Editor:

    • Press Win+R to open Run.
    • Type gpedit.msc, and then click OK.

    Let us know how else we can help.

    missing components group policy editor

    I've been trying to enable Reopen last browsing session. I have a brand new Win 10 home laptop. I've finally got group policy editor installed and some options/folders are missing. local computer policy/administrative templates/windows components/internet
    explorer/internet control panel . This folder only contains folders for security page and advanced page. I need a folder labeled "General Page" to enable Reopen last browsing session. I have the same list under internet control panel in the user configuration
    menu. How do I add folders (and their contents) that are missing from the group policy editor?

    Administrative template missing in group policy editor.

    I have Windows 10 version 1909 (OS Build 18363.1171).I want to speed up the loading of thumbnails in the file explorer for pdf files. I went to this article and it lists the steps that involve editing the group policy. https://www.guidingtech.com/speed-up-thumbnail-loading-windows-10/


    Unfortunately, I am not getting the administrative template in my group policy editor and cannot proceed.

    I am the sole user of my laptop with admin privileges. Please advise.

    I tried installing admin templates from this link but it didn't solve my issue.
