Hi Brian LeFlem,

there are various options available to configure a Windows 10 device. As you asked for Windows 10 I made a screenshot of the profile types to give you an impression:

As you can see a variety of types are available. All covering different aspects. And I think there are a lot of settings available right now to configure a device for corporate usage. In addition, there are ways to extend this list by using custom profiles with Windows 10 CSP's (CSP=Configuration Service Providers).

You can read my article about Processing of Intune policies (https://oliverkieselbach.com/2019/07/18/intune-policy-processing-on-windows-10-explained/) to understand more of the custom settings (Policy CSP).

Lastly you can use PowerShell scripts to configure settings you are missing from the options I showed.

My advice would be, fire up a test tenant and start evaluating. It is real quick setup and you can start to have a look what is possible and where the limitations are for you.

best,
Oliver
