Привет друзья! В комплекте с Windows 7, 8.1 и 10 поставляется специальное приложение, именуемое Центром мобильности. Используется оно в основном на портативных устройствах для быстрого доступа к базовым настройкам яркости, громкости, синхронизации, электропитания, управления ориентацией экрана, параметрами презентации и некоторыми другими компонентами.
Центр мобильности Windows штука полезная, но вы можете столкнуться с ситуацией, когда его нужно будет отключить. В Windows 10 он, к примеру, вообще не особо нужен, так как управлять некоторыми из перечисленных выше настроек можно из Центра действий. Отключить Центр мобильности нетрудно.
Как в Windows 10 включить или отключить Центр мобильности
Откройте командой regedit редактор реестра и разверните этот ключ:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/MobilityCenter
Может статься, что подраздела MobilityCenter у вас не окажется, в этом случае его нужно будет создать вручную. В свою очередь в нем необходимо создать 32-битный параметр типа DWORD с именем NoMobilityCenter и установить в качестве его значения 1.
Это действие отключит Центр мобильности для всех пользователей. Если же вы захотите деактивировать приложение для конкретного юзера, то же самое нужно сделать в ключе HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/MobilityCenter.
В обоих случаях изменения вступят в силу после перезагрузки компьютера. Для отключения Центра мобильности также можно использовать редактор локальной групповой политики. Открыв его командой gpedit.msc, перейдите по цепочке Конфигурация компьютера → Административные шаблоны → Компоненты Windows → Центр мобильности Windows. Справа нажмите ссылку «»Изменить параметры политики» и установите в открывшемся окошке радиокнопку в положение «»Включено».
А как вот быть, если нужно как раз наоборот, включить Центр мобильности на десктопном компьютере? По умолчанию это приложение работает только на мобильных ПК и планшетах, если вы хотите пользоваться им на обычном настольном компьютере, нужно применить соответствующий твик реестра. Открыв редактор реестра, разверните ключ HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft, создайте в последнем подразделе сначала каталог MobilePC, а затем MobilityCenter так, чтобы последний был вложен в предыдущий (см. скриншот).
В подразделе MobilityCenter создайте 32-битный DWORD-параметр с именем RunOnDesktop и установите в качестве его значения 1. После перезагрузки вы сможете запускать Центр мобильности командой mblctr из окошка «Выполнить».
Windows 11/10 comes with a built-in feature for laptops that is called Windows Mobility Center. It allows you to instantly access or adjust the display brightness, mute or adjust volume, view and change Power Plans, view the remaining battery percentage, set Sync Settings, and connect to an external display. For some reason, if you wish to disable or remove it from your Windows PC altogether, Microsoft offers a built-in option to do the same. This means there is no need to use a third-party tool to remove the Windows Mobility Center in Windows 11/10.
This post will share at least two ways to prevent access to Windows Mobility Center on Windows 11 or 10 for all users. These are the following:-
- Enable or Disable Windows Mobility Center using Group Policy Editor
- Turn On or Off Windows Mobility Center via Windows Registry
How to Enable or Disable Windows Mobility Center in Windows 11 or 10 using Group Policy Editor?
Gentle Reminder: Local Group Policy Editor is not a part of the Windows 10 Home edition; if you are still using the Windows 10 Home edition operating system, you need to enable gpedit.msc.
To turn on or off Windows Mobility Center in Windows 11/10 using Group Policy Editor, perform the following recommended steps:-
Step 1. Press the Windows logo + R keys simultaneously to open the Run dialog box.
Step 2. In the Run box, type the following and hit Enter from the keyboard to open Local Group Policy Editor windows:-
gpedit.msc
Step 3. In the Local Group Policy Editor, navigate or browse for the following path from the left side pane:-

Step 5. Select Enabled.
Step 6. Click Apply.
Step 7. Click OK.
The policy will be applied immediately, which means there is no need to restart your PC.
If you change your mind and want to enable Windows Mobility Center, repeat the above steps and, in step 5, select the Not Configured option.
How to Turn On or Off Windows Mobility Center in Windows 11 or 10 via Windows Registry?
Gentle Reminder: Editing Windows Registry may damage your Windows installation; hence we recommend taking a full backup of the Registry and creating a system restore point. If something goes wrong, you can revert your PC to a previous working state.
To enable or disable Windows Mobility Center in Windows 11 or 10 via Windows Registry, use these steps:-
Step 1. Click on the Start button and type regedit.
Step 2. In the top search results, click on the Registry Editor entry to open the Registry Editor window.
Step 3. In the Registry Editor window that opens, navigate or browse for the following key:-
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
Step 4. Right-click on the Policies folder, select New, and then Key.
Step 5. Rename the newly created key as MobilityCenter.
Step 6. Now, perform a right-click on the MobilityCenter folder, select New, and then DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Step 7. Rename the newly created DWORD (32-bit) Value as NoMobilityCenter.
Step 8. On the right side pane of MobilityCenter, double-click on the NoMobilityCenter and change its Value data from 0 to 1.
Step 9. Click OK.
Step 10. Reboot your computer or laptop.
Now, you will not be able to open the Windows Mobility Center in Windows 11 or 10. If you want to enable it again, navigate to the following key:-
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\MobilityCenter
On the right side of MobilityCenter, double-click on NoMobilityCenter and change its Value data from 1 to 0. Restart your computer or laptop, and you have done it.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Windows Mobility Center is a useful built-in feature in Windows 11/10 that allows users to easily adjust settings related to display brightness, volume, power plans, battery percentage, sync settings, and external display connectivity. However, if you want to prevent access to this feature for all users, there are two methods to do so: using Group Policy Editor or Windows Registry. It is important to note that editing the Registry can potentially damage your Windows installation, so it is recommended to take a full backup and create a system restore point before making any changes. By following the steps outlined in this post, users can easily enable or disable Windows Mobility Center according to their preferences.
Windows Mobility Center (mblctr.exe) is a special app that comes bundled with Windows 10. It is present by default on mobile devices like laptops and tablets. It allows changing brightness, volume, power plans, display orientation, display projection, Sync Center settings, and presentation settings of your device. There are situations when you may need to disable Windows Mobility Center for all user accounts of your device. Here is how it can be done.
Windows Mobility Center was first introduced in Windows 7. Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 also include it, however it is mostly superseded by Action Center’s buttons for quickly toggling these above mentioned settings. Still if you prefer to use Mobility Center, you can activate it on a Desktop computer. It can still be useful because it can be extended by OEMs (your PC vendor) with additional tiles to toggle various system settings like Bluetooth or your monitor.
Here is how you can disable this feature for all users. You must be signed in with an administrative account to continue.
To disable Mobility Center in Windows 10, do the following.
- Open Registry Editor.
- Go to the following Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\MobilityCenter
Tip: See how to jump to the desired Registry key with one click.
If you do not have such a key, then just create it.
- Here, create a new 32-bit DWORD value NoMobilityCenter.
Note: Even if you are running 64-bit Windows, you still need to use a 32-bit DWORD as the value type.
Set it to 1 to disable the Windows Mobility Center app in Windows 10.
- To make the changes done by the Registry tweak take effect, you need to Restart Windows 10.
Later, you can delete the NoMobilityCenter value to allow the user to use both Control Panel and Settings.
Disable Windows Mobility Center for a Specific User
To disable the Windows Mobility Center for a specific user account, apply the same tweak under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER branch. Tip: You can switch between HKCU and HKLM in Windows 10 Registry Editor quickly.
- Open Registry Editor.
- Go to the following Registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\MobilityCenter
Tip: See how to jump to the desired Registry key with one click.
If you do not have such a key, then just create it.
- Here, create a new 32-bit DWORD value NoMobilityCenter.
Note: Even if you are running 64-bit Windows, you still need to use a 32-bit DWORD as the value type.
Set it to 1 to disable the Windows Mobility Center app in Windows 10 for the current user. - To make the changes done by the Registry tweak take effect, you need to sign out and sign in to your user account.

Disable Windows Mobility Center with Local Group Policy Editor
If you are running Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education edition, you can use the Local Group Policy Editor app to configure the options mentioned above with a GUI.
- Press Win + R keys together on your keyboard and type:
gpedit.msc
Press Enter.
- Group Policy Editor will open. Go to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Mobility Center. Enable the policy option Turn off Windows Mobility Center as shown below.
This policy setting turns off Windows Mobility Center. If you enable this policy setting, the user is unable to invoke Windows Mobility Center. The Windows Mobility Center UI is removed from all shell entry points and the .exe file does not launch it.
That’s it.
