    I’ve never had that issue on Professional editions of Windows 10 or 11. Home edition? Maybe. But Pro lets you override almost anything you want with group policies.

      I also rely on group policies. they do get reverted. o&o shutup10 has a feature to detect it and point that out, and I see it almost every time I open it. I use it rarely per machine, but I use it on multiple machines and each does this.

      then sometimes the setting is just ignored. I was baffled when the policy to disable the start menu automatic bing search -which basically uploads all your local searches to microsoft bing - did not work, even after 2 reboots. I think it was this year, perhaps the last one

        I will say that I would absolutely be championing linux if not for relying way too much on RTX features For example, their inverse tone mapping (SDR-to-HDR) is far far superior to the Windows AutoHDR solution as long as you’re willing to spend a bit of time tuning it for your display. That said, if anyone wants to do an equivalent trade for a freshly re-pasted 3080 10GB I might consider going AMD lol.

        Damn, that sucks. It’s been forever since I set that one so I checked and it looks like I’m using the registry edit method for that particular one. My start menu has looked like this for as long as I can remember so I’m not sure what’s keeping it from changing with updates. searching for anything not on my local system results in ‘no results found’

        edit I am using OOSU10 but unless it has some auto-reset feature then it isn’t what’s keeping my changes in place through upgrades. I’m even on the beta channel for windows.

          yeah and that policy has been working on every other machine! I even checked the registry value, and it was there in the correct location, and correct type!
