Disable these surface popout things

[kenw232]

Does anyone know how to disable this from happening in the attachment? Windows Server 2012 R2.

Assuming you don't want to disable the Charms Bar completely you could set the following registry values.

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; [b]Disable Charms Bar[/b] (Top Right)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\EdgeUi]
"DisableTRCorner"=dword:00000001

; [b]Disable Charms Bar Hint[/b]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\EdgeUI]
"DisableCharmsHint"=dword:00000001

Thanks. Too bad there is no group policy for this. I can't find one anyway.

You can put those reg keys into a policy using preferences.

Do they really call this mess the "Charms Bar"? I never understood why they wanted to make the user interface on a server, look so much like a phone.

they don't want you to have a gui on the server at all and want you to use core

Is anyone else having a nightmare with this CharmsBar, no matter what I do (including the reg keys) when I hit the bottom right corner the charms bar appears. And when you can get to the WiFi menu and turn on airplane mode as a Pupil this is a serious problem, and the main one as to why I'm not yet rolling out Win8.1, that and the HUGE >2min lag during "Preparing Windows"....

 

Am I just missing something obvious?
