Hide protection history from users
- Oct 07, 2024
Unfortuntately, it's not possible to just remove the "Protection History" menu.
It is possible though to completely disable the Windows Security Center by disabling all tiles (Account Protection, Device Security, Family UI, ...).
The user will then see the following notification when opening the Security Center.
If the user is a local admin they will still be able to retrieve a file from quarantine via mpcmdrun though.

Was afraid that would be the answer.
Ive checked through GPO and documentations and couldnt find a way to hide the whole security UI. Could you provide how to accomplish this or point me in the direction of documentation please.
And also, would the UI still be blocked for users with local admin rights?
Thanks!- am1357Oct 11, 2024Brass Contributor
Check out the polices under "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Security"
You will have to enable every setting under Windows Security that starts with "Hide ...", e.g. "Hide the Account protection area" under "Account protection"
Yes, this will also hide/disable the Security Center for local admins.
