I work with government admins a lot and they've already told me the shit show they've been dealing with regarding feature updates somehow installing themselves on their devices despite it being disabled via GPO. Unfortunately, I think the government will just flex on Microsoft and force them to strip the shit out for their baseline Windows images rather than move to a Linux alternative.
My windows PC bricked its OS in the last month, it was definately caused by an upgrade (corrupted hive). I strip my windows installs bare with a script so I assume it was looking for some telemetry service or something. Jokes on Windows, I was planning to switch the OS on that PC anyway. Annoying because it was bad timing.
Care to share the script?
Ya I’m pretty sure gov with E5 M365 tenants will just not have those features installed. Most govs have rules about data residency.
