Anyone know what happened to the group policy option to disable the Windows Welcome Experience for all users? It used to be at:
Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Cloud Content

Has it been removed or shuffled into a different policy? Is there a master change log for all of the GPO options available that Microsoft keeps tweaking?

Thanks for any insight

Thank you,
My GPO does look like @Josey Wales. Any idea what else is affected by enabling 'Turn off Microsoft consumer experiences' besides the Welcome Experience?

edit: I can confirm that enabling 'Turn off Microsoft consumer experiences' does not disable the option for users to check or uncheck the Settings option under System > Notifications > Additional Settings > Show the Windows welcome experience after updates and when signed in to show what's new and suggested

Thank you, I was hoping for an option to disable that checkbox for all users, maybe its no longer available.

Something just ain't right.
All the REG entries are there, all the GPOs are there, but still...
