How to disable the Windows 10 activity center from Regedit or GPO
Let’s start by defining what is Regedit, in simple words; It is the default program on our computers, to edit all the system configurations that were saved when installing Windows 10. We must use it carefully and know well how to modify or edit the Regedit Offline registries in Windows 10.
We can say that Regedit is the master control of our computer. Through it we can change anything. For example, you can change the Windows desktop wallpaper using Regedit. Even to enable and disable fast user switching in Windows 10, among thousands of other things.
GPO is a Group Policy object; that is, the set of policies that govern the operating system. They are designed with different policies; some related to managing the Internet, or with the control panel, or commands such as Regedit.
This GPO is in charge of granting access to the control panel, defining the size of the files, among other permissions. In order to add or remove them we must execute the specific commands and give them value, remember that only with a user as Administrator we can do this.
To access Regedit, we must open Run and type regedit.exe to get Run can press the Windows key and type the command, or press the Windows + R. Then, you must double-click, you will be able to see all the settings that are stored, in the registry editor.
