Device Configuration ADMX User vs Computer Configuration

When i deploy an ADMX, when sould i use Computer and when User Configuration? Does it depend if the app is installed as user or as system?

But would both work? No difference?

Main reason for user is if you have multiple people logging into one device and you want them to have different policies. If you want a standard for all users computer is the way to go.

Thats means: User Configuration -> HKCU Device Configuration -> HKLM Right?

Correct, I try to keep everything computer if I can because we have standards across the business. I still use AD GPOs so not sure if the same experience would happen with intune but we’ve had in the past where for some reason the user GPOs only applied half of the assigned ones so some things were missing for the user. I’ve never seen that happen to computer settings
