W11 Enterprise 21H2 ... Just went into Task Mgr for first time and found Windows is running tasks for things that have been disabled in GPO (and therefore in the reg). One example: GPO has CEIP disabled (been disabled for weeks), but in Task Mgr the CEIP folder consisted of several tasks that were running daily. Same with some telemetry-related tasks, even though all telemetry is turned off in GPO/reg. (I also have Updates turned off so I can do them manually, but Windows scans/checks for updates every 22hrs regardless, which I can disable by services.msc Update Orchestrator set to disabled... but annoying configuring GPO isn't enough.)
I imagine these Task Sched tasks were there by default but am wondering why they are still running when they should be disabled? TIA
EDIT: PS I deleted the tasks (one remade itself) but what bothers me is that W11 seems to be ignoring settings in GP... so you wonder if even deleting the task will do any good, or is MS just doing what it wants regardless, which makes all the privacy-security related settings useless.
