Customizing Settings Page Visibility through the Local Group Policy Editor
The Local Group Policy Editor is a Microsoft Management Control that is used to modify different types of settings for the operating systems. There is a policy setting available for almost all of the settings. The user just needs to open the policy setting and change the toggle option for it. You can set this policy for both machine and the user in the Group Policy Editor. We have provided steps through which you can customize the Settings Page Visibility according to your needs: Note: If you are using Windows Home Edition, then skip this method and try using the Registry Editor method.

If users don’t have the Local Group Policy Editor on their system, they can use the Registry Editor for the same purpose. However, in this method, users will be required to use some technical steps to achieve the same result as GPO. You can set this policy for both machine and the user in the Registry Editor. Users need to create the missing key or value manually in the Registry Editor.
