# Windows Home and browser setup guide
These are manual controls, not a claim that the prototype has applied them. Open Windows Settings and use the pages below. Labels vary by Windows build. Keep this guide open while configuring; the tool does not automatically open pages, install applications or alter this host.
These are Settings-backed controls; the machine-policy engine does not pretend to enforce them on Home. Run `Home.ps1 -Page <name>` or use the graphical wizard's Home tab to open the supported Windows Settings page.
