It is likely that at some point you will modify some element of the security policies. In such a case the most recommendable thing is to export the configuration. This way, you will not have to restore them manually. Since it would be enough with importing them to return to the original state. So first press the Win+R combination and run the following command:

secpol.msc

The local security policy console is immediately displayed. Once there, please right-click on Security Settings. Finally, select the Export Policy option:

By default, Windows 10 will store this file in the following path: C:\Users\coolr\Documents\Security\Templates. However, you can choose a different location. Please assign the name and save the backup.
