Keyboard filter typically only applies to local sessions. Enabling this setting will allow the keyboard filter to be applied to users that connect to the computer by remote sessions.
Registry
HKLM
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System HKCU
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System Value name: KbFilterAllowInRemoteSessions
Enabled: KbFilterAllowInRemoteSessions = 1
Disabled: KbFilterAllowInRemoteSessions = 0
Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
