Title

Windows Ink Workspace must be configured to disallow access above the lock.

Control

If the following registry value does not exist or is not configured as specified, this is a finding: Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry Path: \SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsInkWorkspace (For GPO-managed systems) Or Registry Path: \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\WindowsInkWorkspace (For Intune-managed systems) Value Name: AllowWindowsInkWorkspace Value Type: REG_DWORD Value data: 1

Discussion

This action secures Windows Ink, which contains applications and features oriented toward pen computing. Note: A different registry location is needed when systems are managed by Intune versus GPO.

Fix

Disable the convenience PIN sign-in. For GPO-managed systems: Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Windows Ink Workspace >> Set "Allow Windows Ink Workspace" to "Enabled and set Options On, but disallow access above lock". For Intune-managed systems: Set the Windows Ink Workspace Policy to disallow access above lock.
