Disable Offline Map downloads and updates

Hello,

If you browse to Settings>System>Offline Maps, you'll see the +Download Maps option, and further down, the "automatically update maps" toggle.

How would one disable both of these from the registry?

I'm starting the search in HKLM\System\Maps - but nothing that I've tried has worked.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Were you able to find the solution to this issue ?

Negative....still searching. I basically just don't want my users hammering the network with large DLs like these.

Did you tried the below GPO ?

Administrative Templates\Windows Components\MAPS

Yeah, that disables the auto download and update....which is good. I'm trying to take it a step further by greying out the options for offline maps altogether.

With that GPO set users can still manually download...

got it.. i am even trying to search that option if that can be grayed out.

Please keep the forum posted if you find the solution. Thanks.
