This policy setting prevents Windows tips from being shown to users. If you enable this policy setting, users will no longer see Windows tips. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users may see contextual popups explaining how to use Windows. Microsoft uses diagnostic [removed: and usage ]data to determine which tips to show. Note: If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, but enable the "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Data Collection and Preview Builds\Allow Telemetry" policy setting with a level of "Basic" or below, users may see a limited set of tips. Also, this setting only applies to Enterprise and Education SKUs.

If you enable this policy, Windows spotlight [removed: on][added: features like] lock [removed: screen, Windows tips, Microsoft consumer features and other related features][added: screen spotlight, suggested apps in Start menu or Windows tips] will no longer suggest apps and content from third-party software publishers. Users may still see suggestions and tips to make them more productive with Microsoft features and apps.[added: If you disable or do not configure this policy, Windows spotlight features may suggest apps and content from third-party software publishers in addition to Microsoft apps and content.]

This setting allows you to display or hide specified Control Panel items, such as Mouse, System, or Personalization, from the Control Panel window and the Start screen. The setting affects the Start screen and Control Panel window, as well as other ways to access Control Panel items, such as shortcuts in Help and Support or command lines that use control.exe. This policy has no effect on items displayed in PC settings. If you enable this setting, you can select specific items not to display on the Control Panel window and the Start screen. To hide a Control Panel item, enable this policy setting and click Show to access the list of disallowed Control Panel items. In the Show Contents dialog box in the Value column, enter the Control Panel item's canonical name. For example, enter Microsoft.Mouse, Microsoft.System, or Microsoft.Personalization. Note: For Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, and earlier versions of Windows, the module name should be entered, for example timedate.cpl or inetcpl.cpl. If a Control Panel item does not have a CPL file, or the CPL file contains multiple applets, then its module name and string resource identification number should be entered, for example @systemcpl.dll,-1 for System, or @themecpl.dll,-1 for Personalization. A complete list of canonical and module names can be found in MSDN by searching "Control Panel items". If both the "Hide specified Control Panel items" setting and the "Show only specified Control Panel items" setting are enabled, the "Show only specified Control Panel items" setting is ignored. Note: The Display Control Panel item cannot be hidden in the Desktop context menu by using this setting. To hide the Display Control Panel item and prevent users from modifying the computer's display settings use the "Disable Display Control Panel" setting instead.[added: Note: To hide pages in the System Settings app, use the "Settings Page Visibility" setting under Computer Configuration.]
