How can I prevent Windows 10 from updating Internet Explorer security settings
How can I prevent Windows 10 from updating Internet Explorer security settings.
I have a really hokey bank where I live in Ecuador. In order to do banking on their website, I have to do a host of security settings on Internet Explorer. The bank has a 25-page document on how to set up the security settings in Internet Explorer. Seriously. 25 pages. Here it is:
Produbanco-Cash-Management-configure.pdf
(Scroll to the second half of the document to get to the English version)
Crazy, isn't it.
Well, I can't very much change how the bank chooses to operate, but my beef is with Windows 10 and IE. I go through these 25 pages and get everything working. Then whenever Windows 10 does updates, I'm like "ACK!!!!". Now my banking website doesn't run properly any more. sheesh. So back to the 25 pages of instructions. Are you frustrated just reading this.
Before responding with "find a new bank", can someone let me know how I can permanently set up all those security settings so they don't get reset with each Windows update?
Thanks

You mention windows 2012 and windows 8.1. But I have neither. My computer runs windows 10
If you have windows 10 pro or enterprise or education, these instructions apply, but you would need to use gpedit.msc, not gpmc. If you have win10 home, they don't and you would have to export and import the corresponding registry settings. What edition do you run?
In any case, it should be solved easily.

I have Home edition. How do I export and import registry ?
Please try with export and import of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software

Sounds like a good plan. Please I need screen shots of where/how to do this.
