Subscribe to Help Center RSS FeedSome policies you create provide a list of options for you to specify, enable, or disable. For example, when you create a policy for Window devices to control when the screen saver locks down an inactive device, you need to also configure the timeout in seconds.
Specific policies have nuances that are important to note as you apply them to your fleet. For example, after applying a Windows policy, it may take 5-10 minutes for the policy update process to run. We recommend that you reference the article for a specific policy if you have concerns.
Below is a list of all Windows policies in 黑料海角91入口. Specific instructions for more nuanced policies are linked in the Learn More column. If a Learn More article isn't listed, you can use the basic steps in Get Started: Policies for help.

Windows 10 Enterprise N Edition Considerations
Note:
The "N" editions of Windows 10 include the same functionality as other editions of Windows 10, except for media-related technologies. The N editions don't include Windows Media Player, Skype, or certain preinstalled media apps (Music, Video, Voice Recorder). New features such as Cortana, Windows Hello, and PDF viewing in the new Edge browser rely on Windows Media files that aren't included in N editions. Certain websites and software, such as Windows Store apps or Microsoft Office, use Windows Media-related files that aren't included in N editions. The following is a list of 黑料海角91入口 policies that are not supported (or, where noted, partially supported with degraded experience) on Windows 10 Enterprise N.
- Allow Use of Biometrics
- Allow Use of Camera
- Configure Explorer - Windows update configuration is affected by missing media dependencies
- Configure Windows Updates - Windows Store apps with media dependencies are affected
- Disable Cortana
- Display User Info When Session is Locked - Lock screen appearance differs due to missing media dependencies
- Do Not Display Last Username on Logon Screen - Lock screen appearance differs due to missing media dependencies
- Do Not Require CTRL+ALT+DEL on Logon Screen听- Lock screen appearance differs due to missing media dependencies
- FeedbackNotifications
- Message Text for Users Attempting to Log On - May be affected by missing media dependencies
- Microsoft Edge - May be affected by missing media dependencies
- OneDrive
- Removable Storage
- Software Restrictions
- Windows Defender - May have limited functionality
- Winmaps - May be affected by missing media dependencies
