For example, you can turn off Windows Update, turn off Cortana, turn off Windows Firewall.
First appeared on Windows 2000 and up to now, it still exists on Windows 10 Pro, Edu, Enterprise versions except Windows 10 Home.
As for Local Security Policy, the name says it all, it gives you in-depth settings, as well as managing system security issues.
Issues such as user passwords, password length requirements, whether special characters can be used, etc.
In addition, you can completely use Local Security Policy to monitor user activity and limit the functions they are allowed to use.
Local Security Group is also a component of Group Policy, how I will explain in detail later for you.
