Limit the maximum BITS job download time
This policy setting limits the amount of time that Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) will take to download the files in a BITS job. The time limit applies only to the time that BITS is actively downloading files. When the cumulative download time exceeds this limit the job is placed in the error state. By default BITS uses a maximum download time of 90 days (7776000 seconds). If you enable this policy setting you can set the maximum job download time to a specified number of seconds. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the default value of 90 days (7776000 seconds) will be used.
Timeout for inactive BITS jobs
This policy setting specifies the number of days a pending BITS job can remain inactive before the job is considered abandoned. By default BITS will wait 90 days before considering an inactive job abandoned. After a job is determined to be abandoned the job is deleted from BITS and any downloaded files for the job are deleted from the disk. Note: Any property changes to the job or any successful download action will reset this timeout. Consider increasing the timeout value if computers tend to stay offline for a long period of time and still have pending jobs. Consider decreasing this value if you are concerned about orphaned jobs occupying disk space. If you enable this policy setting you can configure the inactive job timeout to specified number of days. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the default value of 90 (days) will be used for the inactive job timeout.
Specify timeout for fast user switching events
This policy setting specifies the number of seconds a pending fast user switch event will remain active before the switch is initiated. By default a fast user switch event is active for 10 seconds before becoming inactive. If you enable this policy setting you can configure the fast user switch event timeout to specify the number of seconds the event remains active. This value cannot exceed 60 seconds. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting a default value of 10 seconds is used for fast-user switch event timeouts.
Allow domain users to log on using biometrics
This policy setting determines whether users with a domain account can log on or elevate User Account Control (UAC) permissions using biometrics. By default domain users cannot use biometrics to log on. If you enable this policy setting domain users can log on to a Windows-based domain-joined computer using biometrics. Depending on the biometrics you use enabling this policy setting can reduce the security of users who use biometrics to log on. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting domain users are not able to log on to a Windows-based computer using biometrics. Note: Users who log on using biometrics should create a password recovery disk; this will prevent data loss in the event that someone forgets their logon credentials.
Allow users to log on using biometrics
This policy setting determines whether users can log on or elevate User Account Control (UAC) permissions using biometrics. By default local users will be able to log on to the local computer but the “Allow domain users to log on using biometrics” policy setting will need to be enabled for domain users to log on to the domain. If you enable or do not configure this policy setting all users can log on to a local Windows-based computer and can elevate permissions with UAC using biometrics. If you disable this policy setting biometrics cannot be used by any users to log on to a local Windows-based computer. Note: Users who log on using biometrics should create a password recovery disk; this will prevent data loss in the event that someone forgets their logon credentials.
Allow the use of biometrics
This policy setting allows or prevents the Windows Biometric Service to run on this computer. If you enable or do not configure this policy setting the Windows Biometric Service is available and users can run applications that use biometrics on Windows. If you want to enable the ability to log on with biometrics you must also configure the “Allow users to log on using biometrics” policy setting. If you disable this policy setting the Windows Biometric Service is unavailable and users cannot use any biometric feature in Windows. Note: Users who log on using biometrics should create a password recovery disk; this will prevent data loss in the event that someone forgets their logon credentials.
Disallow Autoplay for non-volume devices
This policy setting disallows AutoPlay for MTP devices like cameras or phones. If you enable this policy setting AutoPlay is not allowed for MTP devices like cameras or phones. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting AutoPlay is enabled for non-volume devices.

Turn off Autoplay
This policy setting allows you to turn off the Autoplay feature. Autoplay begins reading from a drive as soon as you insert media in the drive. As a result the setup file of programs and the music on audio media start immediately. Prior to Windows XP SP2 Autoplay is disabled by default on removable drives such as the floppy disk drive (but not the CD-ROM drive) and on network drives. Starting with Windows XP SP2 Autoplay is enabled for removable drives as well including Zip drives and some USB mass storage devices. If you enable this policy setting Autoplay is disabled on CD-ROM and removable media drives or disabled on all drives. This policy setting disables Autoplay on additional types of drives. You cannot use this setting to enable Autoplay on drives on which it is disabled by default. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting AutoPlay is enabled. Note: This policy setting appears in both the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If the policy settings conflict the policy setting in Computer Configuration takes precedence over the policy setting in User Configuration.
