Create Intune Device Restriction Policy for Windows 10 Devices

You can create an Intune device restriction policy for Windows 10 from Microsoft Intune—Device Configuration—Profiles—Create New Profile. I selected Windows 10 as the platform, and platform Selection is essential.

Also, it would be best to select the profile type while creating an Intune Configuration Restriction policy. In my scenario, the Device restriction policy is named “Windows 10 CYOD Restrictions.”

Is this Intune device restriction policy a replacement for group policies? No, it’s still not a replacement for AD group policies.

Deploy Windows 10 Intune Device Restriction Policy

You can deploy the Windows 10 Intune Device Restriction Policy to either Windows 10 CYOD dynamic devices or Windows 10 user groups. Dynamic device groups are still in preview, and the group typos are not always stable. So, at least for the next two months, I will prefer to deploy policies to user groups rather than dynamic device groups.

Windows 10 End-user Experience of Intune Device Restriction Policy

As you can see in the video tutorial at the top of this post, I’ve enabled the time settings to disable the option as part of the initial Windows 10 device restriction policy. The end-user logged in to the Windows 10 machine can’t change the time on the system.

After that, I changed the Windows time setting policy again, and after applying the new policy, the user can change the time on the Windows 10 system.
