Hi,

is there a way to set "find my files" to enhanced with the help of a GPO?
When it is not possible to do it with GPO, than with REGEDIT?

    Hi @Tonito Dux ,

    The Windows Registry key for the Find My Files options is called EnableFindMyFiles, and is located over here:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gather\Windows\SystemIndex

    I couldn't find any existing GPO for changing this, but you can definitely create your own GPO that modifies the registry value for this registry key.

    For more information see:

    Hi @Tonito Dux ,

    Thank you so much for posting here.

    As Leno provided, we could modify the registry value to enable the Enhanced mode. Have we tried to modify the registry value?
