Run gpedit.msc to open the Group Policy Editor and navigate to the following settings:

User Configuration> Administrative Templates> Start Menu and Taskbar

Double-click on Remove Notifications and Action Center and set it to Enabled.

This policy setting removes Notifications and Action Center from the taskbar notification area. The notification area is at the far right of the taskbar, including icons for current notifications and the system clock.

If this setting is enabled, Notifications and Action Center will not be displayed in the notification area. Users will be able to read notifications as they appear, but will not be able to review any notifications they miss. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Notification and Action Center will be displayed on the taskbar. Restart is required for the policy to take effect.

3. Turn off the Security and Maintenance message using Registry Editor
