Which setting group applies to the computer or device level for software installation and updates?

• A. Authorized Software
• B. Web Access Control
• C. Settings Inheritance
• D. Per-Computer Settings

Answer: (D)

At the device level, you want policies that are applied directly to each computer regardless of who is logged in, so software installation and updates can be pushed and enforced across the machine. The per-computer settings group is designed for this: it targets the endpoint itself, allowing you to specify which software to install or update and when, ensuring consistency across all devices.

This differs from other options: Authorized Software typically defines what software is allowed to run but doesn’t necessarily manage deployment or updates on the device. Web Access Control governs internet or browser access, not software deployment. Settings Inheritance governs how policies propagate from parent groups to devices or users, rather than the actual device-level targeting for installation and updates.
