HOW TO DISABLE RIGHT CLICK MENU IN WINDOWS 10 START MENU
By Laxman Singh on March 3, 2018Tutorial Windows 10
This tutorial explains how to disable right click menu in Windows 10 Start menu. When we right-click on a live tile or app visible in Start menu, we can see Unpin from Start, Pin to Start, Resize, Uninstall and More options. If you want, you can hide all those options. That simply means you can disable the entire right-click context menu for Start menu of Windows 10. And the good thing is you can do this with built-in options for Windows 10.
To disable right-click menu for Start menu of Windows 10, I’m going to use Gpedit (Group Policy Editor) and Regedit (Registry Editor) of Windows 10. Also, note this feature has come with the preview build number 17083 of Windows 10. That means you can’t disable right-click menus for Start menu in Fall Creators Update or previous versions. If you are already using this preview build or higher, then you can use this trick immediately. Otherwise, you can wait for the next stable version to use this feature or install this preview build.

Method 1: How To Disable Right Click Menu In Windows 10 Start Menu With Group Policy Editor?
This method is helpful for those using Pro or Enterprise edition of Windows 10 because Home edition doesn’t come with Group Policy Editor (or Gpedit.msc). You can install Group Policy using some third-party software but it might not contain this new feature.
Step 1: Click on the Search box and write “gpedit.msc” or “group policy“. This will show “Edit group policy” option in the Search result. Select that option.
Step 2: When Group Policy is launched, expand the “Administrative Templates” folder available in Computer Configuration and then click “Start Menu and Taskbar” folder.
Step 3: On the right part of Group Policy, double-click on the new option “Disable context menus in the Start menu“.
Step 4: A separate window is opened where “Enabled” option is available. Select that option and then you need to apply this change.
