    Is there a way to disable the launchpad on desktops? I don't see a need for my users to have this.

    Thanks!

    I was just looking into this as well...launchpad is creating more EU questions than good.

    Open Launchpad settings and uncheck the option of "Automatically run the launchpad when i Logon to windows"

    We have a GPO that stops launchpad from starting up, however since the launchpad is needed to push out any SBSe updates, use this at your own risk. That being said, after disabling this GPO and after a restart of a client computer, the launchpad starts up again.

    The GPO is configured to delete "Launchpad" from "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\" in the registry.

    You can disable it through MSConfig, so probably with a GPP through GPO
