CTRL+ALT+DEL opens a screen that allows you to log off, open Task Manager, and more. System administrators might be glad to know that we can remove some of the available options when a user presses CTRL+ALT+DEL.

Open Group Policy Editor.

Note: Windows 10 Home users will need to enable Group Policy Editor for Windows 10 Home.



Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System. Click on Ctrl+Alt+Del Options.



In the right window, you will see four options:

  • Remove Change Password - This policy setting prevents users from changing their Windows password on demand.
  • Remove Lock Computer - This policy setting prevents users from locking the system.
  • Remove Task Manager - This policy setting prevents users from starting Task Manager.
  • Remove Logoff - This policy setting disables or removes all menu items and buttons that log the user off the system.

    Double-click the setting you'd like to change and change that setting from Not Configured to Enabled to remove that option from the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen.

    If you'd like to see this in action, we will remove Task Manager from our CTRL+ALT+DEL screen.



    Double-click Remove Task Manager. Click on Enabled. Click on OK and reboot.



    And here is our updated CTRL+ALT+DEL screen with Logoff removed:



    Should you change your mind later, change any setting back to Not Configured, which in this case is the Windows Default and the same as Disabled.
