Web content filtering not working on devices

Hi, we are currently managing a fleet of devices via Hexnode. Previously, almost all of these devices were enrolled in another device management solution.

Stuck decrypting the C drive

I tried decrypting the C: drive using the force bitlocker decryption remote action, but it failed. Got an error saying the OS drive can't be decrypted until auto-unlock is cleared for all drives. What exactly is auto-unlock? Is it the same as locking/unlocking a drive?

There is currently no option to change the font color for device details. Would it be possible to please allow for that to be something that we can change? The default red is too bright.

Disabling Office Macros

My company requires Office Macros are disabled. For Winodws and MacOS, this is not a built in setting in Hexnode policies. I cannot find any Powershell scripts or batch files to run and enable this setting. Can this be built in?

Windows Group Policy Objects functionality

I think it would be a killer feature for managing Windows systems if you could add Group Policy Objects functionality to Hexnode MDM.

Ability to read and set windows Registry Keys

I would very much have the ability to set registry keys in Windows. It would also be nice if you could read a defined set of registry keys and combine it with a reporting functionality to make a device out of compliance if the keys differ from expected.
