Disable Windows Security

[itgeek]

Hi,

 

Can anyone tell me how I disable the Windows Security via gpo? and how I disable network discovery to remove the network icon as shown ?

 

 

Thanks again

I believe the following will fix it.

 

User Configuration > Admin Templates > Control Panel > Hide Specified Control Panel items:

 

Microsoft.WindowsDefender - For Security Centre

Microsoft.NetworkAndSharingCenter

 

For Settings:

 

Computer Configuration > Admin Templates > Control Panel > Settings Page Visibility:

 

There is a list on here for which ones you need.

Getting rid of 'Network' can be done via the following reg key:

 

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Key path: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\NonEnum

Value name: {F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}

Value type: REG_DWORD

Value data: 0x1 (1)

 

 

 

As for Windows Security, only answer I can give you is "You can't", but if you've locked down permissions, the worst a kid can do is initiate a virus scan.

Got this in place too, works fine. Also recently got rid of the 3D Print shortcut in File Explorer, no one was using that!

You mean the 3D Objects library?

 

That would be:

 

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Key path: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace

Value name: {0DB7E03F-FC29-4DC6-9020-FF41B59E513A}

 

and

 

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Key path: SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace

Value name: {0DB7E03F-FC29-4DC6-9020-FF41B59E513A}

 

If anybody's wondering
