Despite the fact that the Windows 10 Control Panel Settings application is designed as a tool to configure and personalize your computer using a lot of options, many of which you don’t want others to change especially if you share computer with other people. There are just times when you may not want other users to have a full access to your computer’s Control Panel since you want to keep it to your preferred settings and prevent any unwanted or unnecessary configurations.
