Same. Keeps things simple with Linux and, Windows doesn’t even complain about it being disabled, so long as it’s present. I’ll never understand this requirement.
So they can have an excuse to force you to upgrade to Windows 11 beyond “whoops, turns out making an operating system as a ‘buy once’ product is a bad idea.”
Joke’s on them; I already upgraded to Windows 11. I was among the first. It’s actually a solid OS once you disable all the ads and telemetry with O&O Shut Up 10.

Yeah I did the same using WinUtil. Still, I only fire up windows when I need to use software without native Linux support.

Might be a requirement in some companies for security reasons…?

It’s understandable for companies. But for a home user…reasoning is pretty minimal.
