[QUOTE="rain2reign, post: 925730, member: 88069"] When it comes to "windows tweak" software like the mentioned one in the OP, i just simply don't trust any software I can't verify myself. Verify as in knowing what it exactly changes and how. Does it use regedit, gpedit, or some roundabout way in PowerShell etc... I have done this for personal use in the past to automate settings after successful installations. But I just gave up after a couple of years. It's a very time-consuming, and intensive, cat and mouse game with Microsoft which I just didn't have the patience for anymore... Nowadays I check what new things are being changed through PrivateZilla their [URL='https://github.com/builtbybel/privatezilla']GitHub[/URL] and see what's new mostly, while afterwards just editing the policies applicable for me in gpedit, PowerShell commands and if I absolutely have to manually a registry. In win10 pro most things can be found in gpedit anyway, just through the most dubious and weirdest changes in names or merges of several entries. In the past I also consulted Windows Privacy Dashboard (wpd.app) for laughs to see if I could break or unbreak something. There is also O&O ShutUp10, but i never really actually used that program. And like [USER=61892]@TairikuOkami[/USER] i have lurked on TenForums (without account) for quite some time and well...I'm just happy that a lot of bloatware like onedrive can be uninstalled now with a right-click, instead going through registry and all those other methods over the course of the years.
