  2. Click on “Devices” and select “Configuration profiles”. Click on “Create profile”. Change Platform to “Windows 10 and later” and the Profile type field to “Settings catalog (preview)”. Click the “Create” button.

  3. Give it a basic name and navigate to the “Configuration settings” page.

  4. Click the “Add settings” button. Double click on the “Local Policies Security Options” entry in the Settings picker pane on the right.
