Expected behavior

It is made clear to users that there are some settings that can only be applied if so is done machine-wide instead of only to the current user.

Actual behavior

There are some settings that leverage GPO, hence they apply machinewide (all users across one device instead of only current user). WinRice asks if you want to apply these policies that configure the setting machine-wide as well, but the current wording is not at all friendly or clear. In fact, some users have complained to me that they thought that the machine-wide policies question meant if WinRice would apply all settings machine-wide instead of just the current user, which clearly is not the case. This is only limited to some functions, not all functions.

I hope that one day I will design good UX without requiring multiple attempts to do so.
