  1. Is there any way so that I can hide the “display” section/page from the settings app? Or just make the screen resolution drop down menu greyed out so that it can’t be changed? I urgently need to do this but can’t find any solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

  2. or this
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Custom\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    “SettingsPageVisibility”=”hide:windowsinsider”
