You can disable it by using Group Policy as shown below:

hi, thanks for the information above but could you tell me how to get into this as i cant seem to get the group policy editor to open when i search it..... im not very good with windows 10...... should have stuck to 8..lol

If you are using the home version rather than Pro or Enterprise then the Local Group Policy Editor is not available I don't believe.
Right click the Start Button, choose run and type
gpedit.msc
hit enter or click OK
if that doesn't work your might try the same thing only this time type
mmc
hit enter
Use the file menu to add or remove snapin
But basically I don't think it is available in any version downlevel from pro.
