Security concern when installing feature updates win10 - shift F10

Oui, j'ai besoin d'une solution

Symantec recently released this KB detailing how customers can now install features updates via patch (yay, hoping to test it very soon!).

This week a blog came out detailing how win10 feature updates present a security risk as clients can easily hit shift F10 during the upgrade process to get admin command line access (during install of these win10 feature updates, bitlocker is suspended/disabled).  More info on the Microsoft shift F10 issue here & some twitter discussion.

Last night, Johan Arwidmark posted a blog about how to easily block the shift F10 option using ConfigMgr and said it would be easy to replicate with other deployment tools - simply injecting a file (DisableCMDRequest.TAG) into a WIM - but I have no idea how one would do this with the Altiris/Symantec CMS/ITMS tools.  

Is it possible to block this shift F10 functionality with the Symantec products?  This is a huge risk for us in a K12 environment where students like to tinker and are well aware of such easy bypasses.
