I am trying to figure out a way of disabling locking from a computer lab using GPOs. All the computers are running Windows 8.1. What I am trying to achieve is for the computers to:
- Never lock because of timeout
- Remove the lock option from the taskbar and from "CTRL+ALT+DEL" screen
- Disable the "Win+L" command from locking the computer
Is there a way of doing all of this with just GPOs? Any help would be really appreciated.

Yes, you can prevent the lock with the following GPO:
It will also disable Win+L and the computer won't be locked after the monitor times out for example.
