Restrict user locales
This policy setting restricts users on a computer to the specified list of user locales. If the list is empty it locks all user locales to their current values. This policy setting does not change existing user locale settings; however the next time a user attempts to change their user locale their choices will be restricted to locales in this list. To set this policy setting on a per-user basis make sure that you do not configure the per-computer policy setting. The locale list is specified using language tags separated by a semicolon (;). For example en-US is English (United States). Specifying “en-CA;fr-CA” would restrict the user locale to English (Canada) and French (Canada). If you enable this policy setting only locales in the specified locale list can be selected by users. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting users can select any locale installed on the computer unless restricted by the “Disallow selection of Custom Locales” policy setting. If this policy setting is enabled at the computer level it cannot be disabled by a per-user policy. If this policy setting is disabled at the computer level the per-user policy is ignored. If this policy setting is not configured at the computer level restrictions are based on per-user policies.

Disallow copying of user input methods to the system account for sign-in

If you enable this policy setting the user cannot select a custom locale as their user locale but they can still select a replacement locale if one is installed. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the user can select a custom locale as their user locale. If this policy setting is enabled at the machine level it cannot be disabled by a per-user policy setting. If this policy setting is disabled at the machine level the per-user policy setting will be ignored. If this policy setting is not configured at the machine level restrictions will be based on per-user policy settings.

If you enable this policy setting the DPS detects troubleshoots and attempts to resolve automatically any heap corruption problems.

The DPS can be configured with the Services snap-in to the Microsoft Management Console. No system restart or service restart is required for this policy setting to take effect: changes take effect immediately.
