Configure Microsoft Intune for Windows 10 version 1607 and later device
We will walk you through the steps to configure Microsoft Intune for Windows 10 version 1607 or later.
Step 1: Sign in to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager Admin centre
To start, sign in to the Microsoft Endpoint Manager Admin centre using your Microsoft 365 administrator account. This is the central location where you’ll manage your devices and configure your settings.

Step 3: Create a new Configuration profile
Click on “Create profile” and give the profile a name. Select Windows 10 version 1607 and later as the platform and configure the settings for your devices. For example, you can control access to the Windows Store, turn off Cortana, and control access to the Start menu.
Step 4: Deploy the Configuration profile
After you’ve created your Configuration profile, it’s time to deploy it to your devices. Navigate to Devices > Windows and then select Deployment profiles. Create a new Deployment profile and select the Configuration profile you created in step 3. Assign your Deployment profile to your users or devices by using groups or targeting individual devices.
Step 5: Verify the Configuration profile
Once you’ve assigned the Deployment profile, you can verify that the settings are correctly applied by signing in to a Windows 10 device with a user account member of the target group. Check the settings and restrictions to ensure that they are configured as intended.
