    The amount of times that windows “features” come back after I disable them via GPO on Windows 10 Entrerprise tells me that this isn’t true.

    The irony that setting up Windows now requires more command line use than Linux in 2024.

      If you’re using Enterprise on a personal machine, you’ve messed something up. There are other ways beyond Group Policy in that environment that are probably causing what you’re seeing. SCCM, Intune, Policies over the network vs local… that significantly raises the chances of something else stepping on your local Group Policies.

      I’ve not had that problem on either of my Win 10 Pro machines when using Group Policy to disable things, over the last four years.

        It’s been a year since I’ve uninstalled Windows, but I believe Windows 10 Pro does not have access to the stronger GPO policies that enterprise has. Enterprise was the ad-free version for a while there, but I think it’s just as bad as Pro now.
