I just want a clean Spotlight lockscreen, no ads, no tips.
Is it still possible this on Windows 1803 playing with the registry?
If you have Pro, apparently this can be controlled in the Group Policy editor. See...
Removing Edge links from Spotlight lock screen
I'd like to know the registry entries to modify and if they work on the widespread Home version too...
I don't know if they'll work in Home (with a few exceptions, most seem to) but you'll find a spreadsheet listing all the group policy registry entries here...
Group Policy Settings Reference Spreadsheet for Windows 10 v1803
Thank you! Useful document.
I've found there's a
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager > DisableThirdPartySuggestions (DWORD) = 1
but I don't think will stop tips, just ads links probably
There are a couple of other related policies that may help, you'll have to experiment. Try 'Turn off Microsoft consumer experiences' DisableWindowsConsumerFeatures and/or 'Do not show Windows tips' DisableSoftLanding
