Registry (HKLM)
Write machine-wide registry values of any type — for third-party app configuration and settings that have no Intune equivalent.
What it does
Writes one or more machine-wide (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) registry entries. Use it for third-party application configuration and machine settings that have no Intune Settings Catalog equivalent — the long tail of "set this one registry value" that every real fleet has.
You can add several instances to a template to group settings logically.
Options
| Option | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Registry entries | A list of entries, each a key, value name, type and value. Required. |
Supported value types: String, DWord, QWord, Binary, MultiString, ExpandString.
Good to know
- Machine-wide, so it applies to the device rather than a single user. For settings every new user should inherit, use Registry (default user).
- Idempotent — re-running rewrites the same values, so it's safe to re-run.
- If an entry can't be written, the setup stops by default.

Auto-answer the out-of-box screens (region, keyboard, device name, EULA, optional Wi-Fi) and optionally skip the account screen so the device lands ready — no duplicate admin.
Language & region
Set the display language, keyboard layout, regional format, home location and timezone for the installed Windows and every new user. Autopilot-compatible.
