Method 1: Prevent Changing Color and Appearance via Group Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open Local Group Policy Editor<\/a> and navigate to: User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Control Panel -> Personalization<\/code>. Double-click on the “Prevent changing color and appearance<\/strong>” policy on the right side.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  2. Select the Enabled<\/strong> option. Click Apply<\/strong> and then OK<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \tIf you need to allow changing color and appearance later, then choose Not Configured<\/strong> or Disabled<\/strong>.<\/li>\n

  3. Close Local Group Policy Editor and relaunch the Settings app. Navigate to Personalization -> Colors<\/code> and you’ll find all options on that page are greyed out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Method 2: Prevent Changing Color and Appearance via Registry Editor<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open Registry Editor<\/a> and browse to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies<\/code>. In the left side, right-click on Policies<\/strong> and select New<\/strong> -> Key<\/strong>.\n

      \"\"\n<\/li>\n

    2. Name this newly-created subkey as System<\/strong>, and then select it. In the right side, right-click any blank area and select New<\/strong> -> DWORD (32-bit) Value<\/strong>.\n

      \"\"\n<\/li>\n

    3. Name the newly-created DWORD as NoDispAppearancePage<\/strong>, then double-click it and change its value data to 1. Click OK.\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      \tWhenever you need to allow changing color and appearance again, just delete the NoDispAppearancePage<\/strong> entry.<\/li>\n

    4. Close Registry Editor. The changes will take effect immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
