You haven’t been the sole admin on a Windows machine in a long time, friend.

This ought to happen everywhere. Either I'm the admin on my machine or I'm not. If it's not, I'm not sure how much longer I'll tolerate a Windows machine.

If you care about stuff like being the sole admin of your machine, IDK whg you’re using Windows.

Ypu can be the admin of your machine, but I bet you know what that would mean :)

I will tolerate it for -1.5 years.

PSA: Once this rolls out into the actual downloadable Windows builds, everyone should be able to do this by reinstalling Windows.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm…
Can we get THIS fucking comment on the front page please? Outstanding work, friend! Sincere thanks!

I’d worry about how that might effect other things. Windows isn’t the only thing that changes it’s behavior based on region.
masterspace@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
That’s the real gift given by Microsoft:
Just change your region back to where ever you are after setup. Nothing on your PC outside of the OS will be reading the region set during Windows Install, they’ll be asking for the currently set region.

Maybe I’m misreading what you quoted but it seems to suggest you can’t do what you’re suggesting.
Onc that region is set, it’s locked in unless you do a reset of the PC…which would presumably go through the windows set up again and ask for region.

Hmm, if it doesn’t honor that setting being changed after the initial install it could be possible to set it during install to get the benefits, then change it post install to make other apps behave normally.
