GROUP ID: V-220869RULE ID: SV-220869r958400

Allowing Windows apps to be activated by voice from the lock screen could allow for unauthorized use. Requiring logon will ensure the apps are only used by authorized personnel.

Solution

Configure the policy value for

Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> App Privacy >> 'Let Windows apps activate with voice while the system is locked'

to 'Enabled' with 'Default for all Apps:' set to 'Force Deny'.

The requirement is NA if the policy value for

Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> App Privacy >> 'Let Windows apps activate with voice'

is configured to 'Enabled' with 'Default for all Apps:' set to 'Force Deny'.
