# Device performance and health
|
|
|
|
The **Device performance & health** section contains information about hardware, devices, and drivers related to the machine.
|
|
|
|
This section can be hidden from users of the machine. This option can be useful if you don't want users in your organization to see or have access to user-configured options for the features shown in the section.
|
|
|
|
## Hide the Device performance & health section
|
|
|
|
You can choose to hide the entire section by using Group Policy. The section won't appear on the home page of **Windows Security**, and its icon won't be shown on the navigation bar on the side.
|
|
|
|
This section can be hidden only by using Group Policy.
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> You must have Windows 10, version 1709 or later. The ADMX/ADML template files for earlier versions of Windows do not include these Group Policy settings.
|
|
|
|
1. On your Group Policy management machine, open the [Group Policy Management Console](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc731212(v=ws.11)). Right-click the Group Policy Object (GPO) you want to configure and select **Edit**.
|
|
1. In **Group Policy Management Editor**, go to **Computer configuration** and select **Administrative templates**.
|
|
1. Expand the tree to **Windows components > Windows Security > Device performance and health**.
|
|
1. Open the **Hide the Device performance and health area** setting and set it to **Enabled**. Select **OK**.
|
|
1. [Deploy](/windows/win32/srvnodes/group-policy) the updated GPO as you normally do.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> If you hide all sections then **Windows Security** will show a restricted interface, as in the following screenshot:
