Windows 10: How do you disable the Action Center icon via GPO?

On build 1809 LTSC, we have "Remove Notifications and Action Center" enabled in User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Start Menu and Taskbar.


Policy is being correctly applied to workstation.


However, the Action Center icon is still showing. We did not see this issue in build 1607.


Anybody know how to disable this? Is there a different setting in 1809?

Disable Action Center in Windows 7?

Unfortunately that doesn't disable Action Center, all it does it cause Acution Center to bitch about the Security Center service not running.

Action Center seems to be a different beast from Security Center...

And telling it to not display any messages gets it out of the way, the same way disabling the icon in the suggestions above does, but Action Center is still enabled and running.

 

Disable Action Center in Windows 7?

thats why you uncheck all of the boxes all i think action center is is a warning about various other aspects of the pc. so just uncheck everything and it wont complain about jack or show the icon its worked on countless 7 formats with me. though i do agree security center is diffirent i wasnt entirely implying that it was the same more like security center in itself is also an unneeded program

granted but unchecking what it monitors surely is a way to lighten the load? id imagine anyway seeing as your telling it not to actuively check those programs
