                                                                                                            Graphical user interface, application Description automatically generated


Step 2. On the left side, click “Configuration”. Enable the option “Exclude users from the policy who are members of at least one of these groups:”

 

We will add the group “BUILTIN\Administrators ”.  BUILTIN accounts for an Administrator and a Guest are created automatically when you install Windows. If you use a service administrator account, the Windows group is “LOCAL\[username]”.

 


Step 3. Save profile.
