Buddy's Machine Shop has a kiosk computer located in the lobby for customers to use

Subject:Computer SciencePrice:4.89 Bought3

Buddy's Machine Shop has a kiosk computer located in the lobby for customers to use. The kiosk computer has recently been updated to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and is not part of a domain. The local computer policy created for Windows 7 has been applied to Windows 10. This policy severely restricts the use of the computer, so that customers can only use the web browser.

Occasionally, an administrator needs to sign in to the kiosk computer to perform maintenance and update software. However, this is awkward because the administrator needs to disable settings in the local policy before performing any task. Then, when the tasks are complete, the administrator needs to re-enable the settings in the local policy. Explain how this system can be improved upon.

So before answering lets understand what is asked in question and how we can solve it then we will answer the original question.

So in question we are using windows 10 we want that no policy should be applied when administrator sign in and at the same time it restricts user to use only web browser.

So what we can do is

we can create multiple local group policy. Only the default one has settings and other can be for local user.

You just need to create policy that restricts non administrator user to use default policy and when administrator sign in he can use that default policy.

 

 

Ok after understanding this now lets get to the answer of question you are looking for

 

So we are using Windows 10 right. You know Windows 10 allows multiple local Group Policy objects to exist. Only the default Local Computer Policy has computer settings, but other policies can be created that apply to local users

and local groups.

And the simplest way to implement this configuration is by creating a policy that locks down the computer for non-administrative users. Non-administrative users is a category of users that is available when creating multiple local Group Policies.

Then when the administrator signs in, no policy is applied and the kiosk computer will be unrestricted for performing maintenance.
