Found this app here when searching for alternative ideas for trying to secure Windows PCs. As a part-time job/hobby I fix, disinfect, tune-up and generally maintain computers for (predominantly elderly) clients. The majority want to use their computers to surf the web, get web-mail, shop on Amazon, look at Facebook, etc. I try to do what I can to help them prevent problems with malware.
By using this tool I am able to quickly and easily add group policy control to a Windows 10 machine, and thereby limit the ability to add software. This seems to have paid-off with some clients where I started using this.
I highly recommend this tool to be used on PCs where the person at the keyboard is not very computer literate. Very glad this tool is out there for free.
