In this Windows 10 guide, I'll walk you through the steps to modify the registry to hide the network button from lock screen and prevent other users from changing the network settings when your computer is locked. Modifying the registry is a risky task which can leave your computer in an undesired state so take a full backup or create a check point/snap shot if your Windows 10 is a virtual machine.
