Hi all,

I'm looking for setting windows appearance on existing profils on Windows 2019.
I was able to set windows personalizations on "Default" profil to allow new profils to have these settings.
But these settings are not applied to exixting profils.

What can I do to apply these settings to existing profils ?
Thank you.

Regards

    Hi Eleven,

    Finally, I compared registry settings between user with good settings and user with bad settings and I have created a registry collection in GPO to update required settings.
    It works.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    Please note " Windows uses the default user profile as a template to assign a profile to each new user. After you deploy the image, the default user profile settings are applied to all new users who log on to the computer."
    That means the settings will not be applied to the existing profiles which were created before you modify the Default profile settings. When the user log on to the server, it will load the existing profile settings for this user instead of the default user profile. You need to delete the exising user profile and the corresponding registry key (SID). After that, the user log on to the server and then it will load the default user profile settings.

    Hi Eleven and thank you for your answer,

    I understand how defalut profil works.
    But is really there no way to put these windows appearance settings on existing profils ?
    Because delete and then create all profils would very disturbing for us and for our users.

    Regards,
