Lockdown (Windows Desktop Classic)

Use this dialog box to define lockdown configurations for Windows Desktop Classic devices.

Device lockdown replaces the standard device home screen with a custom home screen that provides access only to authorized applications and websites. See Lockdown | Using the Configuration for details on deploying the configuration to your devices.

Note: There are two types of lockdown modes:

Device Control—Continuously applied lockdown settings.
Speed Control—Lockdown settings applied when the device's speed exceeds the speed specified in the lockdown configuration.

You can choose to configure only Device Control or both. However, when Speed Control is active, it overrides Device Control settings.
