Windows 10 was the return of the start menu to our lives. In the start menu we have the possibility of accessing certain functions if we right-click on the programs shown in the menu. Although there are users who do not want to have this option available. So, it is possible to disable this context menu of applications in Windows 10.
This is what we are going to teach you to do next. So, if you want, you are going to be able to deactivate this contextual menu from the start menu in a simple way. Since you can see that it is a process that does not have too much complication.
When clicking on an application in the Windows 10 start menu, we get a context menu with several options. These options are to anchor to the start, uninstall or access more options. Disabling this contextual menu is a good option if there are more people who have access to our computer. Since this way they cannot carry out these actions.
We have to go to Windows 10 registry editor to be able to do this. Therefore, we enter registry editor in the search bar and we will be able to access. Once we are inside this record, we have to follow this route: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Explorer.
Inside Explorer, we have to click with the right mouse button on the registry panel. We select the option New> 32 bit DWORD value and we have to assign the name DisableContextMenusInStart. We double click on the value we have created and edit its value. We have to change it to 1, which is the value that activates this feature.
Once we have done this, we close the registry and we have to restart the computer. In this way Windows 10 will have already disabled the context menu of the computer's start menu. You will see how the next time you enter, the aforementioned context menu will no longer appear.
