group policy - Windows 10 - Disable Reset My PC


So a member of staff just thought it would be a good idea to use the "Reset My PC" function in Windows 10 as they were having trouble uninstalling some software.


Does anyone know of a way to disable "Reset My PC"? I've looked through the Windows 10 GPOs and couldn't see anything in there.


Answer



Systemreset.exe in C:\Windows\System32 is responsible for reset process. You can't delete it but you can try blocking it via group policy. However I'm not sure if this would prevent a user from resetting their computer by starting it in troubleshooting mode.
