Windows 10: Is it Possible to Remove Context Menu Items for Specific Users via Regsitry / Group Policy?

Hi everyone,I am currently in the process of setting up a child's computer, and I have an administrator account on there, along with the child's account which is a Standard account with Microsoft Family Safety enabled. The machine is running Windows 11 Pro x64I already have a number of restrictions set up using Group Policy / Registry etc...I'd like to remove specific items from the right-click context menu on the desktop, for example I'd like to remove Nvidia Control Panel, but still be able to access this when using the administrator account.So far, I've only found articles or tutorials on

:)

 

Add or Remove Start Context menu items

Nyima,

I was not asking about adding and removing regular app items to the start menu, but rather adding or removing items from the Context Menu (Win+X). Specifically, I would like to add the Devices and Printers item to the list.

Thank you for the response.

 

Delete MMC Group Policy for specific user?

Hello, so I was wondering if there is a way to delete a group policy for a specific user?

I went into MMC. File, add/remove snap-in, selected group policy then selected add, browsed for the user and selected. Hit Finish and then ok.

So now I have a group policy that is .. group policy/user.

I have no idea how to completely remove just that one user without affecting anything else.

anyone have thoughts on this? Thank you!

 

Pinned Start Menu Items Being Removed for Non-Administrative Users


Hello, I am hoping that someone might have a solution to this issue. I am currently running the following hardware/software:
Dell T5810 Workstation
Fresh install of Windows 10 Pro 64bit
With a specific Group Policy for Non-Administrators in place

I have searched the forums for quite some time now, but I have not found anyone that is experiencing the exact same issue that I am. I am currently using a Group Policy that supports the following:
"Remove pinned programs list from Start Menu" = DISABLED
"Remove common program groups from Start Menu" = DISABLED
"Remove frequent programs list from the Start Menu" = ENABLED
"Remove Default Programs link from the Start Menu" = ENABLED
"Remove pinned programs from the Taskbar" = DISABLED

Basically, I can pin items correctly to the Start Menu under the user if I add them to the Administrators user group, but when I attempt to log them back in as a Non-Administrators user (I manually remove them from the Administrators user group), all of the icons show up at login temporarily, but then disappear while I am physically looking at them. This ONLY occurs under Non-Administrative users, which I have to have in place due to security reasons.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. If absolutely necessary, I do have a recorded video of this occurring.

Thanks!
