Disabling the "Security Center Disabled" notification in Windows 10

[VDIMega]

Most VDI image optimization guides suggest disabling the "Security Center" service.

In Windows 7, you can disable such notifications with these registry value:

Location	Setting Name	Default Value	Possible Value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Microsoft\Security Center	AntiVirusDisableNotify (DWORD)	0	0 or 1
	FirewallDisableNotify (DWORD)	0	0 or 1
	UpdatesDisableNotify (DWORD)	0	0 or 1

In Windows 10, those registry values don't work, and you end up with a big error scaring the user:

A commenter on this post highlighted a way to remove this error without enabling the service in Windows 10 setting 8 days ago, and it was very useful to me:

HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications\Settings\Windows.SystemToast.SecurityAndMaintenance
Value Name: Enabled
Value type: REG_Dword
Value: 0 (HEX)

I hope its useful to others as well.

Thanks for posting this.  We have been looking for this since 2015 when Windows 10 was introduced.

I saw you posted this in February.  Has this continued working successfully for you, suppressing the Security and Maintenance notifications?

Have you tried it with Windows 10 1703 yet?
