This illustrates just how ridiculously screwed up Windows is now.

No one should have to resort to registry hacking or the many scripts or hacks available to regain control over basic UX, privacy, or usability selections. It is absolutely absurd.

Until some update resets all those values behind your back.

This wouldn't even be sooooo bad if we could still google how to disable and fix everything... but complete google search collapse is exacerbating microsofts shit to an unbelievable unfixable level.

Like if some drastic new search doesn't appear within a couple years we are talking IT not being able to fix problems anymore

But that turns me into a deshitifcation cron job, working for my operating system to work.
