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.
