Allows IT Admins to configure the default setting for showing additional calendars (besides the default calendar for the locale) in the taskbar clock and calendar flyout. In this version of Windows 10, supported additional calendars are: Simplified or Traditional Chinese lunar calendar. Turning on one of these calendars will display Chinese lunar dates below the default calendar for the locale. Select "Don't show additional calendars" to prevent showing other calendars besides the default calendar for the locale.
ADMX Info:
- GP Friendly name: Show additional calendar
- GP name: ConfigureTaskbarCalendar
- GP path: Start Menu and Taskbar
- GP ADMX file name: Taskbar.admx
The following list shows the supported values:
- 0 (default) – User will be allowed to configure the setting.
- 1 – Don't show additional calendars.
- 2 - Simplified Chinese (Lunar).
- 3 - Traditional Chinese (Lunar).

Allows IT Admins to either prevent specific pages in the System Settings app from being visible or accessible, or to do so for all pages except those specified. The mode will be specified by the policy string beginning with either the string "showonly:" or "hide:". Pages are identified by a shortened version of their already published URIs, which is the URI minus the "ms-settings:" prefix. For example, if the URI for a settings page is "ms-settings:bluetooth", the page identifier used in the policy will be just "bluetooth". Multiple page identifiers are separated by semicolons. For additional information on the URI reference scheme used for the various pages of the System Settings app, see ms-settings: URI scheme reference.
The following example illustrates a policy that would allow access only to the about and bluetooth pages, which have URI "ms-settings:about" and "ms-settings:bluetooth" respectively:
showonly:about;bluetooth
If the policy is not specified, the behavior will be that no pages are affected. If the policy string is formatted incorrectly, it will be ignored entirely (that is, treated as not set) to prevent the machine from becoming unserviceable if data corruption occurs. Note that if a page is already hidden for another reason, then it will remain hidden even if it is in a "showonly:" list.
The format of the PageVisibilityList value is as follows:
- The value is a unicode string up to 10,000 characters long, which will be used without case sensitivity.
- There are two variants: one that shows only the given pages and one that hides the given pages.
- The first variant starts with the string "showonly:" and the second with the string "hide:".
- Following the variant identifier is a semicolon-delimited list of page identifiers, which must not have any extra whitespace.
- Each page identifier is the ms-settings:xyz URI for the page, minus the ms-settings: prefix, so the identifier for the page with URI "ms-settings:network-wifi" would be just "network-wifi".
The default value for this setting is an empty string, which is interpreted as show everything.
Example 1, specifies that only the wifi and bluetooth pages should be shown (they have URIs ms-settings:network-wifi and ms-settings:bluetooth). All other pages (and the categories they're in) will be hidden:
showonly:network-wifi;bluetooth
Example 2, specifies that the wifi page should not be shown:
hide:network-wifi

To validate on Desktop, use the following steps:
- Open System Settings and verify that the About page is visible and accessible.
- Configure the policy with the following string: "hide:about".
- Open System Settings again and verify that the About page is no longer accessible.
