Disabling Right Click open file location on Start Menu

SYNACK1 · December 2, 2018

Hi all,

Couple of queries in regards to Windows 10 ltsb.

Has anyone managed to disable the right click open file location on the start menu?

Seems a few people asked the question but wondering if anyone got a working solution.

Then next disabling the search option in the start menu as users are able to search a unc path that is otherwise blocked through file explorer.

Thanks in advance

GPO setting: Administrative Templates >> Start Menu and Taskbar >> Disable context menus in the Start Menu

Tried this, both as User and Computer on W10 Education, hasn't applied.

Which version of Windows 10 Education are you using? The policy will only work on 1803 or newer.

Hi, we are using v1803.

Hi, we are using v1803.

I tested it just now (as a user policy) and it works on 1809. Strange.

Using Windows 10 LTSC 2019 1809 with 1809 ADMX GPOs and can confirm it works here too (also as a user policy).

Well, I have tried user and computer configurations, and it is not applying. Not sure what else to try here.
