What’s crazy is all this can be disabled in Windows by a power user or enthusiast, but they don’t want to, so they want to move to linex, an operating system designed for power users

What’s crazy is that everythitn a power user does to disable these things gets UNDONE with the next windows update.

A real power user wouldn’t waste their time with that added maintenance of re-disabling things.

I haven’t had a problem with everything staying off, except one drive turning back on which was annoying but took 5 secs to turn it off again.
Proving the point, it’s a never ending battle with windblowz
If that is a problem for you, just wait till you try Linux
It’s not a problem for me, because I use Linux.
