Windows 10 does not honor disabling Lock Screen VoIP notifications

I have disabled the tick box under Settings > System > Notifications > Show reminders and incoming VoIP calls on the lock screen.

However, when the screen is locked and someone makes a skype call it still rings. Furthermore, if I set the volume to mute, for some reason that doesn't work and it reactivates.

I have tried using the reg fix solution located here and it didn't affect it either.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings

This is problematic because we sit in a shared workspace and if I'm away from my computer and activate the lock screen and someone calls me on skype it still rings loudly and disrupts co-workers.

Follow these steps to check if it works:

Step 1: Open the Windows Settings menu by pressing the Windows Key and “I,” or alternatively search for Settings in the Windows search bar and click the corresponding result.

Step 2: Click Notifications & Actions in the left-hand menu. This will take you to a screen providing access to all of the settings related to notifications and the Action Center.

Step 3: Click the System icon, then select Notifications and actions from the left-hand menu.

Step 4: Look for the Notifications subheading, where you will see a number of toggles for various types of notifications. The following is a list of the settings you can toggle on this screen:

• Get notifications from apps and other senders
• Show notifications on the lock screen
• Show alarms, reminders, and incoming VoIP calls on the lock screen
• Hide notifications when duplicating my screen
• Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows

You may just turn them off the notification as you need.

The options are still greyed out.

I think your own screengrab shows some of it.

I got five messages that are greyed out.

• Autoplay.
• Show notifications on the lock screen.
• Show alarms, reminders and incoming VOIP calls on the lock screen.
• AutoPlay.
• Security and maintenance.

Im guessing some of them would get rid of the annoying popup messages.
