    How to Remove Unwanted Menu Items


    I have 30 laptops we use in our school environment. I want to reduce the visual distractions for the student on the Start menu.

    I have been looking for a way to remove "Settings" and "Windows Security" from the User Menu. These are not located in the two places that I know to look:
    C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

    Would anyone know how to remove these (shown in picture).

    Thank you everyone.

    Windows 10 1909

    How do you remove items from a context menu?

    Some installed programs have inserted items on my context menu that appears when I right-click on e.g., a folder. How do I remove the unwanted items?

    How to remove item from Context Menu (after app removed)

    It's not in the open with context menu (tried the steps from the link just to see, but no it's not in there). The app from the context menu is in the first layer, the one when you right click on an item and you have "scan with..." or "edit with notepad++" etc.
