Users can install and upgrade software. The "For non-managed applications only" option permits users to install only those programs that a system administrator assigns. Locate Windows Installer and configure it to Always install with elevated privileges.
To make this policy setting effective, you must enable it in both folders. A new option appears called List of Disallowed Applications. Click Show and a Show Contents window appears where you type in the location of the program to be blocked.
The Windows Installer should now be blocked. When it comes to Windows 10, there are a couple of things that bug most people. The first one is the automatic updates, which you can pause , and the second one is the automatic driver installation.
For the most part, automatic driver installation is not a problem and works fine for many people. Windows 10 automatically downloaded all the relevant drivers and installed them for me. However, there might be situations where the automatic driver installation is not desired. Those situations include but are not limited to buggy drivers, wrong drivers, outdated drivers, incompatible drivers, etc.
In those situations, you can disable automatic driver installation in Windows There are multiple ways to disable automatic driver installation in Windows All the methods shown below achieve the same thing.
So, follow the one you are comfortable with. Similarly, a match to a hardware ID results in a better rank than a match to any of the compatible IDs. After Windows ranks all of the driver packages, it installs the one with the lowest overall rank.
For more information about the process of ranking and selecting driver packages, see How Setup Selects Drivers in the Microsoft Docs library. For more information about the driver installation process, see the "Technology review" section of the Step-by-Step Guide to Driver Signing and Staging. Some physical devices create one or more logical devices when they are installed.
Each logical device might handle part of the functionality of the physical device. When you use Device Installation policies to allow or prevent the installation of a device that uses logical devices, you must allow or prevent all of the device identification strings for that device. For example, if a user attempts to install a multifunction device and you did not allow or prevent all of the identification strings for both physical and logical devices, you could get unexpected results from the installation attempt.
Device setup classes also known as Class are another type of identification string. The manufacturer assigns the Class to a device in the driver package. The Class groups devices that are installed and configured in the same way. A long number called a globally unique identifier GUID represents each device setup class.
When Windows starts, it builds an in-memory tree structure with the GUIDs for all of the detected devices. When you use device Classes to allow or prevent users from installing drivers, you must specify the GUIDs for all of the device's device setup classes, or you might not achieve the results you want. The installation might fail if you want it to succeed or it might succeed if you want it to fail. To install a child node, Windows must also be able to install the parent node.
You must allow installation of the device setup class of the parent GUID for the multi-function device in addition to any child GUIDs for the printer and scanner functions. This guide does not depict any scenarios that use device setup classes. However, the basic principles demonstrated with device identification strings in this guide also apply to device setup classes.
After you discover the device setup class for a specific device, you can then use it in a policy to either allow or prevent installation of drivers for that class of devices. The following two links provide the complete list of Device Setup Classes. Some devices could be classified as Removable Device. A device is considered removable when the driver for the device to which it is connected indicates that the device is removable.
For example, a USB device is reported to be removable by the drivers for the USB hub to which the device is connected. Group Policy is an infrastructure that allows you to specify managed configurations for users and computers through Group Policy settings and Group Policy Preferences.
Device Installation section in Group Policy is a set of policies that control which device could or could not be installed on a machine. Whether you want to apply the settings to a stand-alone computer or to many computers in an Active Directory domain, you use the Group Policy Object Editor to configure and apply the policy settings. The following passages are brief descriptions of the Device Installation policies that are used in this guide.
These policy settings affect all users who log on to the computer where the policy settings are applied. You cannot apply these policies to specific users or groups except for the policy Allow administrators to override device installation policy. This policy exempts members of the local Administrators group from any of the device installation restrictions that you apply to the computer by configuring other policy settings as described in this section.
This policy setting allows members of the local Administrators group to install and update the drivers for any device, regardless of other policy settings. If you enable this policy setting, administrators can use the Add Hardware Wizard or the Update Driver Wizard to install and update the drivers for any device. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, administrators are subject to all policy settings that restrict device installation.
This policy setting specifies a list of Plug and Play hardware IDs and compatible IDs that describe devices that users can install. This setting is intended to be used only when the Prevent installation of devices not described by other policy settings policy setting is enabled and does not take precedence over any policy setting that would prevent users from installing a device.
If you enable this policy setting, users can install and update any device with a hardware ID or compatible ID that matches an ID in this list if that installation has not been specifically prevented by the Prevent installation of devices that match these device IDs policy setting, the Prevent installation of devices for these device classes policy setting, or the Prevent installation of removable devices policy setting.
If another policy setting prevents users from installing a device, users cannot install it even if the device is also described by a value in this policy setting. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting and no other policy describes the device, the Prevent installation of devices not described by other policy settings policy setting determines whether users can install the device.
This policy setting allows you to specify a list of Plug and Play device instance IDs for devices that Windows is allowed to install. Use this policy setting only when the "Prevent installation of devices not described by other policy settings" policy setting is enabled.
Other policy settings that prevent device installation take precedence over this one. If you enable this policy setting, Windows is allowed to install or update any device whose Plug and Play device instance ID appears in the list you create, unless another policy setting specifically prevents that installation for example, the "Prevent installation of devices that match any of these device IDs" policy setting, the "Prevent installation of devices for these device classes" policy setting, the "Prevent installation of devices that match any of these device instance IDs" policy setting, or the "Prevent installation of removable devices" policy setting.
If you enable this policy setting on a remote desktop server, the policy setting affects redirection of the specified devices from a remote desktop client to the remote desktop server.
This policy setting specifies a list of device setup class GUIDs that describe devices that users can install. If you enable this setting, users can install and update any device with a hardware ID or compatible ID that matches one of the IDs in this list if that installation has not been specifically prevented by the Prevent installation of devices that match these device IDs policy setting, the Prevent installation of devices for these device classes policy setting, or the Prevent installation of removable devices policy setting.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting and no other policy setting describes the device, the Prevent installation of devices not described by other policy settings policy setting determines whether users can install the device. This policy setting specifies a list of Plug and Play hardware IDs and compatible IDs for devices that users cannot install.
If you enable this policy setting, users cannot install or update the driver for a device if its hardware ID or compatible ID matches one in this list. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users can install devices and update their drivers, as permitted by other policy settings for device installation. Note: This policy setting takes precedence over any other policy settings that allow users to install a device.
This policy setting prevents users from installing a device even if it matches another policy setting that would allow installation of that device.
This policy setting allows you to specify a list of Plug and Play device instance IDs for devices that Windows is prevented from installing.
This policy setting takes precedence over any other policy setting that allows Windows to install a device. If you enable this policy setting, Windows is prevented from installing a device whose device instance ID appears in the list you create. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, devices can be installed and updated as allowed or prevented by other policy settings. If you enable this policy setting, users cannot install or update devices that belong to any of the listed device setup classes.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users can install and update devices as permitted by other policy settings for device installation.
This policy setting prevents users from installing a device from being installed even if it matches another policy setting that would allow installation of that device. This policy setting will change the evaluation order in which Allow and Prevent policy settings are applied when more than one install policy setting is applicable for a given device.
Enable this policy setting to ensure that overlapping device match criteria is applied based on an established hierarchy where more specific match criteria supersedes less specific match criteria. The hierarchical order of evaluation for policy settings that specify device match criteria is as follows:.
This policy setting provides more granular control than the "Prevent installation of devices not described by other policy settings" policy setting.
If these conflicting policy settings are enabled at the same time, the "Apply layered order of evaluation for Allow and Prevent device installation policies across all device match criteria" policy setting will be enabled and the other policy setting will be ignored.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the default evaluation is used. By default, all "Prevent installation Some of these policies take precedence over other policies. The flowchart shown below illustrates how Windows processes them to determine whether a user can install a device or not, as shown in Figure below. Device Installation policies flow chart.
A USB thumb drive. Most USB thumb drives do not require any manufacturer-provided drivers, and these devices work with the inbox drivers provided with the Windows build. Access to the administrator account on the testing machine. The procedures in this guide require administrator privileges for most steps. Using this option is recommended when the administrator is not sure of the installation history of devices on the machine and would like to make sure the policy applies to all devices.
For example: A printer is already installed on the machine, preventing the installation of all printers will block any future printer from being installed while keeping only the installed printer usable.
