has anyone successfully been able to move the Windows button to the left on Windows 11 VDI. I tried a few reg keys combination but nothing seems to work. let me know what you've successfully tried.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\TaskbarAI DWORD 0 works for me

it only works for me if i run it a part of the users login...like a script or scheduled task. is that how its working for you?

No I am doing it via GPO

oh duh.

I've only just started testing it so not sure if it is bulletproof - but if you alter that reg key it actually changes in real time in the session

how about the activity feed? have you been able disable it via reg?

Is that the GPO "Enable news and interests" set to Disabled? I might be confusing it with Win10

Is this what you are looking for?

so the GP setting for moving the windows key worked but i am still looking at hiding the activity feed. none of the reg keys i find are working. i'll need to dig a little deeper

I seem to be doing the same project as you 😉 will let you know what I find

thank you sir, and i will do the same..have nice thanksgiving

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a GPO setting on the latest 24H2 ADMX templates?

To hide the activity feed (news widgets) from the bottom left corner, this worked for me as a registry key preference: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Dsh AllowNewsAndInterests DWORD 0 The GPO setting corresponding to this is not called News and Interest though. it's called Allow Widgets https://admx.help/?Category=Windows_11_2022&Policy=Microsoft.Policies.NewsAndInterests::AllowNewsAndInterests Think my admx template is old so until I update it, I am using the reg preference.

@Amir Joseph Sayes that worked, thx!

This is also a must-have in my book, to bring the context menus back to normal reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve
