Hello Belinda2000, I will be happy to help you solve this problem.

These could be the steps for the solution to your problem

Step 1

Click the "Start" menu on the computer. Select "Run" and type "GPEDIT.MSC". Click "OK" and it will open "Group Policy Settings" for the computer. Find "User Configuration" in the new window that opens and click the "+" sign next to "Administrative Templates."

Step 2

Click the "+" sign next to the "Windows Components" option to expand the menu. Click the "+" sign next to the "Internet Explorer" option to expand this menu. Double click on the "InPrivate" folder.

Step 3

Look at the box to the right and find the option labeled "Settings." There are five options in this menu item. The options are "Disable In Private browsing", "Disable toolbars and extensions when In Private browsing starts", "Do not collect In Private filter information", "In Private filter threshold", and "Disable In Private filter".

Step 4

Select the policy settings you want for InPrivate browsing. To disable private browsing, select the option labeled "Disable InPrivate browsing" to enable the group policy setting and disable the private browsing option. Look to the left and find the blue hyperlink labeled "Properties." Click this link and the new window should read "Disable InPrivate Browsing" at the top of the window. Choose the "Enabled" radio button and select "Apply" at the bottom of the window. Press the "OK" button to close the configuration window.

Enabling the group policy setting disables the InPrivate browsing option. Disabling the group policy setting allows the use of the InPrivate browsing option. If the policy parameters are not configured, the user can enable or disable the InPrivate browsing option while browsing the Internet by clicking on the "Tools" menu button at the top of the page and clicking on the "Browsing InPrivate ".

Step 5

Double-click the Internet Explorer icon on your desktop. Look on the screen and select the "Tools" menu. Browse through all the menu options. Please note that the "Private Browsing" option is missing. If the option is still there, go back to "GPEDIT.MSC" to change the settings again.

I hope I can help you, follow the steps. I will be waiting here
