1. &nbsp;Standard taskbar system icons and notification icons by Group Policy. For example, hide Windows Ink Workspace, show Input Indicator, etc...<br />

Could I have some advice or guidelines on which Group Policies can do that? I already imported the Windows 10 GPO templates into the Domain Controller, but do not know which policies can meet my missions. Thank you.<br />

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
