Shutdown still available on Ctrl+Alt+Del screen despite being disabled from group policy on Windows 10

We're experiencing an issue on Windows 10. When disabling the Shutdown option for users via Group Policy, the option disappears from the Start Menu, but doesn't disappear on the Ctrl+Alt+Del screen.


We're using the "User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Remove and prevent access to the Shut Down, Restart, Sleep, and Hibernate commands " policy setting, or alternatively we're setting the


"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoClose" registry key to 1


Using the exact same settings properly disabled the Ctrl+Alt+Del screen using the previous versions (we tested on Win7 and Windows 8.1).


According to this page, this setting should still disable shutdown and restart on the Ctrl+Alt+Del screen:

Can someone offer some insight on this issue?


Is this something that changed in Windows 10, or is it a bug? If it's a change, how can we accomplish this on Win 10?
