The setting for hiding the Programs and Feature can be found in the Group Policy Editor. However, the Group Policy Editor isn’t available on all versions of the Windows operating system. That is why, we have also included the Registry Editor method, which can be accessed through any Windows edition.
Method 1: Using the Local Group Policy Editor
The Local Group Policy Editor got all those settings that cannot be found in the Control Panel and Settings app. The Programs and Feature page in the Control Panel can also be configured in the Group Policy Editor. There is a specific policy setting that can hide the Programs and Feature page in the Control Panel. The setting is listed only under the User Configuration category. Follow the below steps and hide the Programs and Feature page by using the Group Policy Editor: Note: Skip this method, if you are a Windows 10 Home user. That is because the Group Policy Editor is only available for Windows 10 Pro, Education, and Enterprise editions.
Method 2: Using the Registry Editor
Another method for hiding the Programs and Features page is by using the Registry Editor. If you already used the Group Policy Editor method, then this will already be configured. However, if you are using this method directly, then you need to create the missing key and value for the setting. It is also the only available method for Windows 10 Home users. We have also included the step for creating a registry backup. You can skip it if you don’t want to create a registry backup. Follow the below steps to hide the Programs and Features page:
