How to disable screen snip in notification area?

I am developing a capture preventing software, but I can not prevent capturing by using screen snip in notification area (at Windows 10 1909). I want to disable it. How to disable screen snip in notification area programmatically? Please help me.

Solution

  • You can make the screen snip invisible in the notification area by adding a new value to the registry.

    Run regedit.exe and add a new value called Microsoft.QuickAction.ScreenClipping under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Quick Actions\Control Center\Unpinned.

    The value type is REG_BINARY and value data does not need to be set.

    Then you can see that the screen snip has disappeared in the notification area.
