/ Insights / Windows 10 GPOs and more Insights Windows 10 GPOs and more April 4, 2017 Concurrency, Inc.Here are a few links that I send to my customers who are starting to manage and tweak Windows 10. Most of the items below are GPO related. I also included how to modify the Start menu, and a nice script on GitHub that has many different settings that can be changed in Windows 10 (using PowerShell). I hope these help you get started with Windows 10.When creating a Win10 image, the script in the link below can be handy. At the minimum, you can see a bunch of settings you can turn on or off in Win10. If you see something here that interests you, then you should consider finding the GPO that adjusts that setting and apply it using the spreadsheet in the link further below.https://gist.github.com/alirobe/7f3b34ad89a159e6daa1The following are other links that will help with Win10 GPOs.GPO items that apply only to Win10 Enterprise and EDU:https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows/manage/group-policies-for-enterprise-and-education-editionsDownload link for latest GPO reference spreadsheet (you can sort by when each policy was released):https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25250Administrative Template download site:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53430Start menu layout:Creating XML:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/customize-and-export-start-layoutAdding to GPO:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/customize-windows-10-start-screens-by-using-group-policyOther:Disable “Check online for updates”:https://miketerrill.net/2016/10/11/disable-check-online-for-updates-from-microsoft-update-in-windows-10/Turn off Creators update notification:https://osddeployment.dk/2017/03/21/how-to-remove-windows-10-creators-update-is-on-its-way-in-windows-update/Below is a list of about 13 GPOs to consider starting with.
