Description

This policy setting allows you to enable or disable User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) feature. Reboot is needed for enable to take effect. With Auto-register inbox templates enabled, the UE-V inbox templates such as Office 2016 will be automatically registered when the UE-V Service is enabled. If this option is changed, it will only take effect when UE-V service is re-enabled.

Options

The empty box and the checked box tell the checkbox items of the Group Policy editor apart (a checked box is an item that is selected by default).
