In this post, you’ll learn how to prevent users from saving and changing the theme in Windows 10. Let’s begin.

Method #1

Launch local group policy editor.

Navigate to the User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization.

Then double-click “Prevent changing theme” in the right pane.

Select Enabled.

Hit the OK button.

That’s all.

Note: To allow users to change and save the theme, follow the steps above but select Not Configured or Disabled.

Method #2

Launch Registry Editor. Before proceeding, I suggest taking a backup of the Registry.

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Policies > Explorer.

Right-click on the blank space in the right pane.

Select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.

Type NoThemesTab and then hit the Enter key.

Double-click it and provide 1 in the Value data field.

Hit the OK button.

That’s all.

Note: To allow users to save and change the theme, replace 1 with 0 or delete the DWORD you created earlier.

I hope this guide, “How to Prevent Users from Saving and Changing the Theme,” is helpful to you.
