How can I disable Solitaire on Windows 11 at work?
Asked by

I'm trying to figure out how to disable games on Windows 11 workstations, mainly Solitaire. I believe it's part of the Microsoft Games collection and I've been looking for ways to apply settings through Group Policy, but I'm not having any luck. If there are any alternatives to Group Policy for disabling this, I'd love to hear them. Thanks a lot!

Another route is to specifically execute this command in PowerShell: `Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers Microsoft.MicrosoftSolitaireCollection | Remove-AppxPackage`. It should remove the Solitaire package for all users.

You could use AppLocker as an option to block the game, but keep in mind that it's only available in the Enterprise version of Windows 11, so it might not work for everyone.

The simplest way to disable Solitaire is to uninstall the app itself. You can do this by using PowerShell or similar methods; there have been plenty of guides available for a while now.

NetworkNinja56: Yeah, I heard that AppLocker is pretty limited in the editions it supports, so check your plan before getting too deep into it.
