Windows 10: Manage Quick Actions in Windows 10 1809 with Registry/Group Policy, Change which Quick...

Hello!


Is there a way to use the Registry Editor or Local Group Policy to modify which quick actions show up on local user account? My organization is using Windows 10 LTSC 1809 for a bunch of Surface tables, and on each of them we want to hide some of the quick actions, such as Connect, Project, Quiet Hours, etc. Currently, on each device when preparing we have to go to settings and manually disable the ones we do not want. Is there a way to automate this?


I have found online ways to change the number of quick actions that appear in the Action Center but what I want to know is whether there is a way to automate a process of changing which quick actions display.

Quick Actions

I want to know how I can change the quick actions that you see in the expanded list on Windows 10 Mobile. I know how to change them for the four quick actions that appear at the top of the action center. I noticed silliness like open up OneNote and such
and want to put actual settings in place of those silly ones.

 

Add or Remove Quick Actions in Action Center in Windows 10


Hi,

I wonder if there is a way to turn on/off certain Quick Actions icons in the Action Center via the registry, instead of doing it manually as described above.

Before asking here I've wandered through some posts and searched the internet. I've noticed these keys:

1/

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ActionCenter\Quick Actions\

Here's a list of names of all the Quick Actions.

2/

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ActionCenter\Quick Actions\UnpinnedByDefault

Here's a list of names of Quick Actions that should be Unpinned by default. If I add some here (based on the names in the list described above) and reboot it doesn't seem to work.

3/

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\ActionCenter\Quick Actions

The value PinnedQuickActionSlotCount here is set at 4, which is the amount of Quick Actions seen by default without expanding the view in the Action Center. I don't need to change this one so I haven't tried it.

4/

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Quick Actions\Pinned

There seems to be a numbered list here of Pinned Quick Actions. The names are the same as in the list I mentioned in (1/). However if I remove some values here it also doesn't have effect (even after a reboot).

----

Conclusion: I haven't found a thing that actually worked. Did anyone figure this out already?

Thanks,

 

How to change Windows 10's Mail quick actions?

I do not see any options to configure the notification quick actions in Message List settings. Only options to configure the message list within the app.

Those are just settings to configure the Action Center's quick actions, not the Mail app's notification's quick actions.
