They can do that, but the next update they actually decide to apply… will rewrite all/most of those changes.
Comment on Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch

You know, when an OS out of the box needs hours of disabling invasive bullshit on first boot, maybe the OS is kind of a problem.
I know switching isn’t an alternative for all, hell, even disabling bullshit isn’t possible for everyone but for those who can here’s a script to manage the most blatant fuckery:
https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat.git
From the description: “A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customize, declutter and improve your Windows experience. Win11Debloat works for both Windows 10 and Windows 11.”
HOW TO:
Go to link.
Click green download button > download .ZIP
Right click the downloaded file: choose extract all.
Open folder, double click Win11Debloat.ps1
Follow instructions.
Lord over family and friends about being a l33t h4ck3r.
It’s well used and vetted. If you need help with instructions let me know in comments.

Thanks. It was set to Allow Important Only when plugged in, I’ve disabled it.

Typical Microsoft. “Let the user decide when their computer wakes up? Nah, they let us decide what’s important or it stays asleep.”

You can also set a group policy to allow no updates at all except when you approve and download them manually.
Ridiculous that you need the group policy manager for the basic setting of “don’t put shit on my PC without asking,” but here we are.

Is gpedit even included in retail/OEM windows licenses these days? The vast majority of users wouldn’t know how to do that anyway, hell it’s a swamp even for power users.

You can enable hibernate in power settings too. I had to do that when “sleep” would literally just shut off my monitor and nothing else. Didn’t even log out.
