This allowed me to run gpmc. Right-click your domain and choose the Create a GPO in this domain, and link it here option. Right-click the policy you just created and click Edit. In the Path field, type chromesetup. In the Security level drop-down box, choose Disallowed and click OK. Repeat steps 7 through 9 for the chrome. You should include this rule in case some of your users have already installed the browser. After you implement the GPO and the Group Policy settings refresh on those users' local machines, they'll no longer be able to successfully run Google Chrome.

For Windows users, MiniTool software offers free data recovery software, free disk partition manager, free system backup and restore software, etc. Sometimes you may want to disable antivirus on Windows 10, for instance, the antivirus software interferes the installation of a trusted program, the antivirus application conflicts with a specific Windows process, etc.
However, please be aware that the antivirus software is designed to help protect your computer from viruses, malware, or even hackers. You may temporarily turn off it, but think twice before you decide to permanently disable it. To disable third-party antivirus software on Win 10, generally you can right-click the program icon at the right of Windows taskbar, and choose Disable or Exit to temporarily turn off it.
If you want to enable it again later, you can restart your computer. Does anyone know how effective applocker is? He is father wouldnt actively try to breach it but he is extremely gullible to answering phone calls and doing what he is told for instance when tricked on the phone by someone pushing a "deal of a lifetime", hence got stung for a lot of money recently.
So in an essence we need the machine to be fort knox, we would want to block remote access sites like log me in rescue or similar getting into the machine as well.
Any advice would be appreciated, its a shame he has to go to these lengths to protect his father but I guess old age catches up to us all. Swap it out with a Chromebook, especially if all he is doing is reading email and browsing Facebook or similar activities. The most effective solution would be to remove his local administrator rights. Create another user with admin rights. Take his users rights away. Then if he want to install some legit software his son can do it with the admin credentials.
But doesn't the same thing apply if he tries to install an app that applies only to his user profile then it will allow it? Users at work do not have the ability to install software as we denied it with group policy but every now and again someone still installs something as it applies only to their user profile and is therefore allowed. Yeah I hear you about the grandma, accept he was scammed for a fair bit of money instead with amazing "investments".
We do this at work and it ensures only an admin can then install software as only admins can modify program files. Also most malicious software that takes control of your PC needs admin access to be successful not just ran in a users security context. An exception to this would be crypto ware that encrypts files. But again if ran in a users context without admin rights it could only encrypt files that user had access to. A good antivirus would stop this such as Sophos Central with IntetceptX.
I'm going to disagree here, many browser exploits or malicious email links do not need admin rights to run, they use exploits and scripts to execute bypass techniques in already vulnerable systems - and given most home users don't patch because they dont know how, Microsoft force it for 'Home' editions of Windows, since this person has 'pro' then the management of patches is on them. Why else would AppLocker and SRPs need to be put in place in businesses, many companies don't give users admin rights to help reduce the risk, but this in itself does not negate them clicking a 'PDF' link to a fake Office update that executes a piece of code to exploit a vulnerability in something like OLE objects, Flash or Java, to name just a handful of applications.
Most of these way's in are also not detectable by AV or malware scanners as they are neither, it's only after the fact they are issues and at that point it's typically too late. Remove admin rights, whitelist SRP whitelist is key here. As long as you have Pro you can use local policy. You absolutely can install to your profile without admin. Give him a guest account, instead of an admin account. So create another account, and make it a guest account, then lock down his previous account either with a password change, or just create a new admin account for yourself and delete his previous admin account.
I think a few have got carried away here. This is a home scenario, removing admin rights is enough. Set up proper spam and scam functions for the elderly easily available especially in Gmail.
