Taskbar Cortana search reappears after lock / unlock

we are customizing our field kiosks & turning off things like search / notification area.  after we install & enable SecureLock and then disable it with logoff - the search box reappears and has been turned back on.  

Is there a setting I am missing somewhere?   we can confirm - if we turn off the search & reboot multiple times without SecureLock - the search does not re-appear.  

we have also noticed the notification icon reappears as well (right most icon - usually used for things like Focus Assist, etc) - we have disabled it via registry key - but after we enable / disable SecureLock - it's back in the taskbar.

It's unclear what the undesirable behavior is you're experiencing. Please send a snapshot to techsupport@inteset.com. Regarding the Notification icons, Secure Lockdown doesn't remove/add icons, they must be removed or added manually via Windows settings

we have removed the notification area + disabled cortana, set the background - all via registry.

these are the 2x we use to disable the notification center
#HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PushNotifications
#ToastEnabled
#0
$Path = "HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer"
$Name = "DisableNotificationCenter"
$value = "1"

and then to disable Cortana.
Reg Add "$reglocation\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" /T REG_DWORD /V "CortanaEnabled" /D 0 /F
    Reg Add "$reglocation\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" /T REG_DWORD /V "CanCortanaBeEnabled" /D 0 /F
    Reg Add "$reglocation\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" /T REG_DWORD /V "DeviceHistoryEnabled" /D 0 /F
    Reg Add "$reglocation\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" /T REG_DWORD /V "CortanaConsent" /D 0 /F
    Reg Add "$reglocation\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" /T REG_DWORD /V "CortanaInAmbientMode" /D 0 /F


we reboot a number of times & no cortana in the taskbar & no toast notifications.

after we install secure lock & enable it for the current user, we reboot - Secure Lock is on.  works great.   We the disable Secure Lock & reboot.  when we come back into the user screen - the cortana search area is now on the taskbar.

We have noticed this as well.

We can disable the cortana search box in the task bar. But once we enable Secure Lockdown, and then disable, it will reappear.
